SUMMARY:Policy Lab: Efficient\, Circular and Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:In cities and communities across the EU\, delivering affordable housing is an urgent social\, economic\, and political imperative. Meeting this demand requires solutions that are both cost- effective and future-proof. \n\n\n\nLeveraging the co-benefits of circular\, energy-efficient\, and climate-resilient housing – such as lower energy and maintenance costs\, greater insurability\, and reduced climate risks – can make homes more affordable in the long run and open the door to innovative\, collaborative\, and systemic solutions. \n\n\n\nTo this end\, the EU Cities Mission is engaging European businesses and industry to translate Mission Cities’ Action and Investment Plans into specific\, quantified\, aggregate demand for green materials and technologies\, infrastructure\, manufacturing\, logistics\, interoperable digital solutions\, and green business models. In this way\, we can accelerate the formation of European lead markets and enhance competitiveness through resilience to climate and economic shocks. \n\n\n\nEmploying an innovative policy impact lab approach\, in this session Climate KIC\, in partnership with the Huge Thing and IRMIR (Institute for the Development of Cities and Regions) will gather key representatives of the European built environment ecosystem – policy makers\, industry\, innovators\, local governments\, subject experts – to start addressing housing related (esp. in terms of renovation or new construction) issues in a practice-oriented way. These representatives will work on matching challenges with solutions\, identifying gaps\, and creating space for participants to acknowledge both opportunities and limitations\, to jointly explore ways and projects for moving forward. \n\n\n\n\n[Business models] In what areas are circularity and efficiency co-benefits of affordability? How can this potential be maximized?\n\n\n\n[Innovations] How can alternative and innovative approaches (like zero-emissions building sites\, offsite construction\, energy management innovations etc.)\, be integrated affordably?\n\n\n\n[Costs] What are the key cost drivers constraining the potential of building renovation / new constructions being delivered in affordable and sustainable ways\, and how can they be addressed?\n\n\n\n[Costs] To what extent can innovative financial instruments (e.g. guarantees\, subordinated debt\, pay-as-you-save models etc.) balance short-term feasibility with long-term sustainability?\n\n\n\n[Waste] In what ways might construction and demolition waste be transformed from a cost burden into a reliable source of secondary materials?\n\n\n\n[Waste] How might circular and low-carbon materials\, e.g. low-clinker cement or second-hand steel\, be more broadly adopted?\n\n\n\n[Regulation] What innovations in the EU’s policies (shaping and implementation) or standards can ease affordability concerns without sacrificing sustainability?\n\n\n\n[Data] How can data (governance and use)\, digitization and AI be harnessed to drive sustainability and affordability?\n\n\n\n[Skills] What are the key skills and capacities missing amongst both workers and companies. What kinds of partnerships or models are needed to bridge the gap swiftly – to be able to reap the competitiveness benefits from transforming and becoming innovative? \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n13:00 – 13:30 Registration & Networking \n\n\n\n13:30 – 14:15  \n\n\n\nWelcome Remarks by the Organisers \n\n\n\n\nKatarzyna Bałucka-Dębska\, Head of Policy and EU Affairs\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nMaryla Wojcieszek\, Vice-President and Co-Owner\, Huge Thing\n\n\n\n\nOpening Remarks:  \n\n\n\n\nData applied at neighbourhood level: The case of the Basque Region’s Building PassportAndoni Hidalgo\, Climate KIC / Basque Urban Agenda\, International Affairs AdvisorAnder Bilbao Figuero\, Ciclica\n\n\n\nOslo case – Public procurement leveraging lead markets creationPrzemysław Derwich & Paweł Kaczkan\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nPolish case study\n\n\n\nViews from the marketRepresentatives from ROBYG SA & Vantage SA\n\n\n\n\n14:15 – 15:45 Lab-Style Discussions and Q&A \n\n\n\nParticipants will join lab-style\, solution-focused discussions designed to move beyond sequential remarks and problem definition\, encouraging practical exchange and co-creation of solutions.

SUMMARY:Climathon Kraków 2025
DESCRIPTION:Urban heat islands during heatwaves. Rising summer temperatures are becoming increasingly hazardous to our health\, infrastructure\, and quality of life\, and we believe that local communities hold the key to creating meaningful and innovative solutions. \n\n\n\nOn 13 November 2025\, Kraków joins cities around the world for Climathon – a global movement that brings together citizens\, creatives\, and changemakers to design solutions for local climate challenges. \n\n\n\n​This year’s Climathon in Kraków will focus on one of the city’s most pressing issues: urban heat islands during heatwaves – hotspots that intensify heatwaves\, posing a threat to health\, infrastructure\, and urban life. Rising summer temperatures are becoming increasingly hazardous to our health\, infrastructure\, and quality of life. We believe that local communities hold the key to creating meaningful and innovative solutions. \n\n\n\n​We’ll begin the day with the 2030 SDGs Game\, a powerful multiplayer simulation that helps participants experience what it takes to create a sustainable world. Guided by certified facilitator Antonios Triantafyllakis\, this session will set the stage for systemic thinking and collaborative action. Insights from Kraków will be shared on the Global Wall of Kizukis\, connecting our local conversations to a worldwide dialogue happening in parallel with COP30. \n\n\n\n​Afterwards\, participants will: \n\n\n\n\n​Learn from Kraków’s climate advisors about the challenge of urban heat islands\n\n\n\n​Form teams and use creative tools to brainstorm and prototype solutions\n\n\n\n​Pitch their ideas to peers and partners for feedback and potential follow-up\n\n\n\n\n​Whether you are a student\, designer\, activist\, professional\, policymaker\, or simply a concerned citizen\, this is your chance to take part in shaping Kraków’s climate future. \n\n\n\nThe Climathon is hosted at Apteka Designu (The Design Pharmacy)\, a unique living laboratory in the revitalised Wesoła district. Once a hospital pharmacy\, it has been transformed into a creative hub for experimentation\, design\, and community action. \n\n\n\n​Organised by Gamification Global\, in partnership with The Working Group at Apteka Designu\, and Kraków’s Climate Advisors. \n\n\n\n​Participation is free of charge\, but we kindly request that you commit to joining for the full day to maximise the benefits of this collaborative experience. \n\n\n\n​Be part of Climathon Kraków 2025! Connect\, co-create\, and take action for a cooler\, greener\, and more resilient city.

SUMMARY:CoLab: Advancing green public-private partnerships
DESCRIPTION: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 \n\n\n\nTo 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. \n\n\n\nPublic-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. \n\n\n\nClimate 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. \n\n\n\nTogether\, 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. \n\n\n\nThis 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.  \n\n\n\nJoin us if you’re ready to future-proof your organisation and collaborate with like-minded organisations and innovators.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n14.30 – 15.00: Registration & coffee \n\n\n\n15.00 – 15.10: Welcome to the CoLabwith Magnus Harrison\, Community Relations and Partnership Manager\, Climate KIC   \n\n\n\n15.10 – 15.50: Fire side talk: Accelerating the green transition and business opportunities through public-private partnerships.Moderated by: Katarzyna Balucka-Debska\, Policy & EU Affairs Orchestrator\, Climate KIC. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nMichal Piwowarczyk\, Deputy Director\, Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy\n\n\n\nKrzysztof Gulda\, President\, Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP)\n\n\n\nAnna Brussa\, Industry Value Chains Director\, Climate KIC. \n\n\n\n\n15.50 – 16.00: Session introduction \n\n\n\n16.00 – 16.45: Round table discussions   \n\n\n\n\nUnlocking private and public capitalLed by Przemek Derwich\, EU Funding Specialist\, Climate KIC\n\n\n\nBuilding and scaling competitive industriesLed by Anna Brussa\, Industry Value Chains Director\, Climate KIC.\n\n\n\nBridging innovation gapsLed by Magnus Harrison\, Community Relations and Partnership Manager\, Climate KIC  \n\n\n\n\n16.45 – 17.15: Plenary: Presentation of the round table discussionsModerated by Aleksandra Goldys\, Designer & Producer\, Industry Value Chains\, Climate KIC  \n\n\n\n17.15 – 18.00: Networking reception  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Climate KIC Community CoLabs\n\n\n\nClimate KIC is hosting four Collaboration Laboratories (CoLabs) in the fall of 2025.  At our CoLabs\, we engage public and private stakeholders across value chains in our effort to connect climate demand with innovative business solutions.
