Copenhagen Climate Solutions

DATE
28 Aug 2017

Climate-KIC will be strongly represented at the Copenhagen Climate Solutions Conference on 28-29 August. In addition to moderating a session and hosting a workshop on Green Finance, representatives from Europe’s leading climate innovation initiative will participate in a session on Smart City World Labs

In August it was announced that the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) was one of a number of successful Nordic Climate-KIC partners in a recent call for proposals. The ambition of the Smart City World Labs project is to strengthen the connection of European innovators with the Singaporean smart city market and help start-ups and SMEs gain a foot hold in the Asian market. A central part of the project will be to use existing living labs in new markets as a “soft landing pad” in close collaboration with university environments and key city stakeholders in both countries. 

Climate-KIC Nordic’s Innovation Pipeline Manager Henrik Søndergaard will be talking about this project at the Smart City World Labs session from 10:25 to 11:55 on Monday 28 August.

After lunch, we will continue with a session on Green Finance, where challenges, opportunities and best practices for city solutions will be outlined. The session will be moderated by Climate-KIC Nordic Director Susanne Pedersen with contributions from the cities of Copenhagen and Den Hague, among others. 

As a natural continuation of our Green Finance workshop in Gothenburg in March, the session will be followed up by a half day workshop on Tuesday 29 August. This is the first in a series three workshops held by Climate-KIC Nordic and the City of Copenhagen. The workshop aims to develop new sustainable business models and financial instruments, with additional support coming from Climate-KICs Low Carbon City Lab flagship programme aiming at unlocking finance for cities.
