The basis for the functioning of the Programme is the implementation of the task of the Minister of Climate, which is to support Polish environmental technologies in the country and abroad, constituting an element of environmental protection policy.

So far, six editions of the Programme have been held in the years 2009–2015, in which a total of 74 technologies – GreenEvo Winners – –have been selected from the following technological areas:

• waste management,
• water and waste water management,
• renewable energy sources,
• energy savings,
• air quality,
• biodiversity conservation.

Within the Programme GreenEvo Laureates are selected cyclically within each edition. Through participation in training, the Laureates receive substantial preparation in the field of foreign technology transfer, and then have the opportunity to present the winning technological solutions at international promotional events.

The 7th edition of the Programme, commenced in 2018, was intended exclusively for the Laureates of the previous editions of GreenEvo, in order to use the existing potential of proven technologies of entrepreneurs who, together with the Ministry of the Environment, had  built the GreenEvo brand. The basis for selecting and supporting the Laureates is the Rules and Regulations document of the 7th GreenEvo edition.

As part of the new 8th GreenEvo edition, the Ministry of Climate has prepared a competition to select new environmental technologies and increase the number of awarded entrepreneurs.

The GreenEvo Programme is financed by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
