Purpose: The primary objective of this paper is to present the results of research conducted to identify factors influencing the development of environmental technologies in regions undergoing transformation. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the intended objectives, a study was designed which involved an initial identification of factors related to the development of environmental technologies. These factors were then structured and analyzed by a group of experts involved in the fair transformation process in the Silesian Voivodeship. The factors were categorized into four groups, which were evaluated by entities collaborating with the Specialized Observatory for Environmental Protection Technologies, followed by a ranking process. This resulted in the classification of factors into groups of significance, corresponding to their importance in the development of environmental technologies in transforming regions. Findings: The main outcome of the analyses indicated that regional (specific) factors are significant for the development of environmental technologies but are not the key factors that would decisively influence this process. Instead, political-legal and economic factors were identified as key. Research limitations/implications: The study's findings are primarily limited to one region - the Silesian Voivodeship. Therefore, it would be advisable to conduct comparative research in other mining regions, which would allow for the assessment of the same group of factors. Additionally, considering studies in regions where the transformation is not associated with mining but with other economic sectors would help to expand the list of specific factors and verify the other three groups. Practical implications: The practical significance of the conducted research is linked to the design of legal and economic instruments for the development of environmental technologies. The study confirmed the crucial importance of these groups of factors. Furthermore, the results can be utilized by regional authorities in shaping development policies and fostering collaboration among local stakeholders. Social implications: The research demonstrated that quality of life and social acceptance play a key role in the development of environmental technologies in transforming regions. This finding should serve as an impetus for planning informational and educational activities during the development and implementation of these solutions. Originality/value: The article provides insights into factors crucial for planning the development of environmental technologies under the specific conditions created by the socio-economic transformation of a region.
