Our activities

Climate-KIC addresses four high-level themes, each of which is critical to Europe’s response to climate change:

  • Assessing climate change and managing its drivers

    Climate-KIC facilitates entrepreneurship in a new business entity forming across multiple sectors of the economy which offers novel systems and services to measure and manage CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, to predict the future state of the climate system, to detect its response to mitigation and to develop adaptation actions.

     

  • Transitioning to resilient, low-carbon cities

    Activities under this theme focus on transforming urban mobility and traffic management systems, improving waste management and recycling systems, ensuring smart and cost effective building technologies – areas which offer enormous business opportunities.

  • Advancing adaptive water management

    Reliable water provision to existing urban and rural environments will become increasingly difficult in a warming world, posing challenges on science, technology, policy and the economy. Climate-KIC will explore commercial opportunities by developing sustainable solutions in adaptive water management.

  • Developing zero-carbon production systems

    Climate-KIC will help deliver the significant climate change mitigation and job growth potential of low carbon production systems, focusing on bio-renewables, i.e. chemicals, materials, liquid fuel and energy that use biomass as their feedstock and on integrated energy production and consumption.

 

These four areas form the core structural elements of the Climate-KIC, and its innovation, education, entrepreneurship and pathfinder activities encompass the entire chain from the innovative idea to realisation and market deployment.
