Climate KIC:Innovate for Low Carbon Prosperity and Climate Resilience

Raison d’être

Need to anticipate and prevent– Climate change through adaptation and

mitigation– Tensions resulting from fossile energy

reduced availability

Need to develop – Climate Resilient economies and societies– Smarter energy systems– Low carbon production systems– Measurement and verification tools

Climate KICAn Integrated Strategy for Climate Change Innovation

- Attempts to move toward open innovation

The 4 pillars

Climate-KIC Entrepreneurship

… creates new pathways to low-carbon prosperity by fostering the conditions for ongoing innovation.

Climate-KIC Education

Climate-KIC Innovations

Climate-KIC Pathfinder

…builds platforms to connect and support the wider climate entrepreneurship community.

…attracts and develops future climate entrepreneurs and change agents.

…creates promising new collaborations and pioneers new value-chain configurations.

MARKET

The Radar is still at a concept level and will be developed if and in the way Partners like it

Such a tool could give important inputs to the climate innovation agenda beyond the KIC
