CoLab: Advancing green public-private partnerships
CoLab: Advancing green public-private partnerships
October 22 @ 2:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Join our Community CoLab in Warsaw to design new models of public-private partnerships, and identify business opportunities and coalitions across entrepreneurship, education and research to push the climate innovation agenda
To reach the EU’s 2030 climate targets, the EIB estimates we must allocate roughly 8% of our GDP. Unfortunately, we are only at 5% GDP. We know that neither public nor private sector alone can solve the climate crisis, they must work together.
Public-private partnerships are vital to turn ambitious green commitments of cities, national governments and the EU into reality. By connecting urgent public demand with innovative business solutions and the latest research, these collaborations unlock new markets and drive adaptation at the pace and scale our communities urgently need.
Climate KIC invites you to join us in Warsaw, Poland on Wednesday 22 October for an impactful Community Collaboration Laboratory (CoLab) focused on Advancing green public-private partnerships, in collaboration with the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development and the University of Warsaw. We are inviting key stakeholders from public and private sectors, national, regional and local policymakers, researchers, industries, and innovative entrepreneurs to join us.
Together, we’ll design new models of partnerships, understand the demand of public stakeholders, reflect on possible solutions at the nexus of research and business, and identify opportunities to push the climate innovation agenda in Poland and beyond.
This CoLab is just the beginning. Over the coming three years, Climate KIC Community, will convene public and private stakeholders, researchers and innovators to ignite a new movement to explore systemic climate solutions and collaborate to scale and pace their implementation.
Join us if you’re ready to future-proof your organisation and collaborate with like-minded organisations and innovators.
