New climate innovation centre launched
A new research incubator to assist the development of solutions to climate change has launched in Germany. It’s hoped the ‘Green Garage’ will also increase the speed of developing new innovative products.
Speaking about the opening, Hans-Jürgen Cramer, director of Climate-KIC’s national centre in Germany, said: “Young founders and future climate entrepreneurs are our best investment in the future. With their innovative ideas they create the conditions for a sustainable and carbon-neutral economy.”
The start-up incubator is Germany’s first centre focused exclusively on climate change innovation and is located at the EUREF (EURopean Energy Forum) site in Berlin-Schöneberg, the national site of Germany Climate-KIC. The incubator, a centre bringing together skills, enterprise and expertise to test new ideas, will start with four start-up teams.
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology’s Climate-KIC also has national centres in the UK, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
