Our Community makes innovation happen.
EIT Climate-KIC has more than 400 global Community Members spanning universities, businesses, cities and NGOs, giving us an unrivalled breadth of knowledge and expertise.
We catalyse and support innovation for climate action, but it is our Community who make that innovation happen.
The way that our Community is modelled is based on the core principle that members want to actively work together to transform city, industry, land-use, finance, and maritime systems through innovation to speed up the rate of decarbonisation and strengthen climate resilience.
The Community consists of organisations and individuals who benefit from connecting and learning from each other, innovating and orchestrating together, seeking funding together and influencing key climate and innovation policies.
As a whole, the Community is a transformational force to support the most ambitious climate leaders to create change faster than anyone could have predicted.
