SUMMARY:Investing in nature-positive futures: Innovation and place-based finance for bioeconomy and systems change
DESCRIPTION:The transition to a nature-positive economy cannot be driven by technological innovation and capital alone. It also depends on the social fabric that enables communities\, institutions and regions to innovate together. This workshop\, organised by Climate KIC and a partner event of the EU Green Week\, brings together three interdependent themes to explore how widely understood innovation becomes a catalyst for systemic change and mutually reinforcing transformation dynamics. \n\n\n\nFirst\, bioeconomy is a systemic opportunity and emerging industry with high potential to boost EU competitiveness. Moving beyond siloed sectors\, we examine how bio-based value chains can be redesigned at regional and landscape level\, integrating ecological regeneration with economic viability. Drawing on systems innovation experience as a form of social institution-building\, participants will explore how multi-actor coalitions shift the rules\, relationships and mental models that currently lock in unsustainable resource use\, forming the foundational layer for building new financial and innovation approaches. \n\n\n\nSecond\, Place-Based Finance Labs are an innovation instrument to deliver on topics such as the bioeconomy. We showcase how tailor-made financial mechanisms – co-designed with local governments\, communities and investors – unlock capital for nature-positive projects. These labs embody multilevel governance\, aligning EU policy frameworks with national programmes and sub-regional realities so that investments can flow where transformation is actually happening. \n\n\n\nThird\, innovation in its widest sense\, and as an expression of social capital. Through concrete impact stories\, we illustrate the full spectrum of innovation: technological\, business model\, social and policy – already benefiting nature\, people and the economy. Framed through multi-level perspectives on socio-technical transitions\, the stories demonstrate how place-based experiments\, supported by the right social networks and institutional conditions\, can challenge and reshape current systems\, thereby closing the loop between systemic opportunity (bioeconomy) and enabling mechanisms (finance and innovation)\, delivering real-world transformation. \n\n\n\nFormat & objectives\n\n\n\nThis workshop will bring together practitioners\, policymakers\, investors\, regional actors and innovators to explore how bioeconomy\, place-based finance and systems innovation can accelerate nature-positive transformation across Europe. \n\n\n\nThe event will also help inform our position to give feedback on Biotech Act I and as part of a submission to the upcoming call for evidence on Biotech Act II. Your contribution is fundamental to shaping policy in the right direction at European level. Join us and let your voice be heard! \n\n\n\nParticipants will:\n\n\n\n\nExplore bioeconomy as a systemic opportunity for EU competitiveness and regional regeneration.\n\n\n\nLearn how Place-Based Finance Labs can unlock capital for nature-positive projects.\n\n\n\nHear practical impact stories from technological\, social\, business model and policy innovation.\n\n\n\nIdentify governance\, investment and policy conditions needed to scale nature-positive innovation.\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be in a hybrid format\, allowing participation either in-person in our office in Bruxelles (details below) or online. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nDenyse Julien\, Climate KIC\, Ireland’s Deep Demonstration for the transition to a climate-neutral agri-food sector\n\n\n\nNessa Noronha\, University College Dublin\, TRANSFORM project\n\n\n\nPiotr Jurga\, Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation (IUNG-PIB)\, BIOEASTWIDE\n\n\n\nSeán Douglas\, BiOrbic\n\n\n\nDamien O’Reilly\, Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS)\n\n\n\nTamara Giltsoff\, Climate KIC\, Place Finance Lab initiative\n\n\n\nKirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KIC\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:00 – 10:20 Opening and framing with Keynote from Dr. Kirsten Dunlop (CEO\, Climate KIC) \n\n\n\n10:20 – 10:45 Storytelling\, round one — How transformation begins \n\n\n\n10:45 – 11:30 Group discussion \n\n\n\n11:30 – 11:45 Storytelling\, round two — How transformation scales12:10 – 12:55 Group discussion \n\n\n\n12:55 – 13:00 Closing reflections and next steps \n\n\n\n13:00 Lunch & networking \n\n\n\nSeats are limited – Register below!

SUMMARY:Decarbon Days 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Decarbon Days 2026 is the cleantech event in Europe’s first Net Zero Valley! \n\n\n\nLusatia is Europe’s first Net Zero Valley – a region offering advantages for clean industry! Here\, Germany’s three other valleys\, along with representatives from Spain\, Poland and the Netherlands\, are coming together with key decision-makers at EU\, federal and state level to explore new frameworks for establishing green economic clusters. \n\n\n\nIt will feature a conference day (24th June)\, focused on cross-border practices exchange\, industry input\, implementation frameworks for regions and innovation spotlights\, and a talent day (25th June)\, focused on career opportunities\, pitches\, green skills development\, and more. \n\n\n\nClimate KIC will be present with: \n\n\n\n\nA keynote titled ‘Net Zero Valleys – the EU’s new hotspots for clean industry‘ by Kirsten Dunlop\, CEO of Climate KIC\n\n\n\nA panel on ‘Developing clean industry clusters in Net Zero Valleys‘\n\n\n\nA local edition of our flagship programme Climathon\, an innovation hackathon focused on systemic environmental challenges\n\n\n\nA stand during the 1st day of the conference\, where you can meet our team and discover our opportunities

SUMMARY:Climate for All: Building Green Competences for a Resilient Europe
DESCRIPTION:Europe faces escalating climate challenges. Strengthening citizens’ capacity to respond is therefore no longer optional\, it is fundamental. We bring together policymakers\, educators\, civil society\, and innovators to explore how competence-based\, experiential learning can support a more climate-resilient Europe. \n\n\n\nThis event offers a concrete perspective on how Europe can move from climate awareness to climate competence\, and from competence to action. \n\n\n\nHosted at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels\, this high-level gathering marks the closing conference of Climate for All\, an Erasmus+ initiative (2023–2026) implemented across five European countries. The project has developed a practical\, scalable approach to building green competences through game-based learning\, aligned with the European GreenComp framework. \n\n\n\nParticipants will engage with both the strategic and practical dimensions of this work: from policy-level discussion with European institutions to hands-on experience with educational games and participatory methods that translate learning into local climate action. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nDialogue on Policy and Practice: A high-level panel featuring representatives from the European Commission\, regional authorities\, and civil society organisations\, examining how competence-based education can strengthen climate resilience across Europe.\n\n\n\nInteractive Game Showcase: A facilitated experiential coffee break\, where participants explore six original educational games designed to foster systems thinking\, critical thinking\, futures literacy\, and collective action.\n\n\n\nParticipatory Workshop: A structured\, hands-on session\, where participants connect gameplay insights to the GreenComp framework and collaboratively map concrete actions for local climate resilience.\n\n\n\nNetworking & Exchange: Opportunities to connect with policymakers\, practitioners\, and innovators working at the intersection of education\, sustainability\, and civic engagement.\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n08:30–09:00 – Arrival & Registration09:00–09:20 – Opening and Introduction to the project09:20–10:20 – High-Level Panel: “Building Climate-Resilient Citizens Through Competence-Based Learning”10:20–10:50 – Experiential Coffee Break & Game Showcase10:50–11:45 – Participatory Workshop: “Climate for All in Practice”11:45–12:00 – Closing Reflections & Next Steps \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nSophia Queckenberg\, European Commission\, DG EAC\n\n\n\nMonica Pisani\, European Commission\, DG CLIMA\n\n\n\nIoannis Anastasakis\, Region of Crete\n\n\n\nLaura McDermott\, Colectivo\n\n\n\nPatrycja Gas-Janczukowicz\, Nausika Foundation\n\n\n\nModerated by Antonios Triantafyllakis\, All for Climate ASBL\n\n\n\n\nGames presented\n\n\n\n\nSpirit Path (LARP on collective action\, systems thinking)\n\n\n\nEchoes of Gaia (storytelling card game for nature appreciation & exploratory thinking)\n\n\n\nGREENWASH!
