Our Future – In Your Hands

The Climate-KIC International Foundation is looking for a Supervisory Board Chair.

Europe’s premier climate innovation organisation is looking for its new chairperson. If you have the gravitas, ambassadorial skills and connections to assure world leaders, national and regional governments that the time is now to take the boldest actions on climate, then read on.

With its unique systems transformation capability, Climate KIC is well positioned to lead profound transformative change for cities, regions and industries to become carbon neutral and climate resilient. As the lead orchestrator of the European Union’s Mission to create over 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030, we are creating precedent for thousands of other cities and regions to follow in their footsteps. Some of our most recent work include being orchestrator of Spanish national Cities Missions to foster a range of climate adaptation, innovation and regional resiliency programmes; catalyst of the Republic of Ireland’s Deep Demonstration in sustainable bioeconomy; implementing partner of the Government of Slovenia to embed regenerative circular economy across five key industries, and creating the largest climate solutions acceleration platform across Europe and Africa. We are ready to scale our work and impact worldwide to push towards a climate-resilient future. 

The new chair of the Climate-KIC International Foundation will open doors to senior decision-makers in government, funding organisations, and global businesses, bring his/her/their clout and credibility to help assure leaders to take the risk to transform through innovation, and create a safe space for action for the organisation and its partnership network.
