Description

Description Climate-KIC is one of Europe’s largest public-private innovation partnership focused on climate change, consisting of dynamic companies, the best academic institutions and the public sector.

Climate-KIC is one of three Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) created in 2010 by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The EIT is an EU body whose mission is to create sustainable growth. Climate-KIC supports this mission by addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation. Climate-KIC integrates education, entrepreneurship and innovation resulting in connected, creative transformation of knowledge and ideas into economically viable products or services that help to mitigate climate change.

Objectives Climate-KIC's mission is to bring together, inspire and empower a dynamic community to build a zero carbon economy and climate resilient society.

Climate-KIC's vision is to enable Europe to lead the global transformation towards sustainability.

Activities Climate-KIC brings together people with a common interest in the climate change challenge. Climate-KIC offers services to entrepreneurs to help them create their business and trains students in using their climate change knowledge in the business world.

Climate-KICs activities are driven by four climate change themes: Urban Transitions; Production Systems; Metrics & Finance and Sustainable Land Use

Together with its partners, Climate-KIC identifies markets for climate mitigation and adaption innovations through pathfinder projects, and invests in innovation projects to create products and services and take them to market through existing businesses, new joint ventures and spin-off companies. For a complete list of projects, see here: http://www.climate-kic.org/projects/

Climate-KICs Flagship Projects are: Buidling Technologies Accelerator, Carbon City Lab, Enabling CO2 Reuse, Smart Sustainable Districts
