Description du projet
Faire progresser l’innovation technologique climatique en Europe
Les individus du monde entier étant les témoins de l’impact du changement climatique sur la planète, les stratégies d’atténuation sont vitales. Dans cet esprit, le projet RACE, financé par l’UE, développera des mécanismes et des méthodologies entre le Conseil européen de l’innovation (EIC) et l’Institut européen d’innovation et de technologie (EIT) Climate-KIC, une communauté de la connaissance et de l’innovation (CCI), pour accélérer la transition vers une société zéro carbone et résiliente au changement climatique. Ces mécanismes comprendront une stratégie de test du cadre d’impact climatique d’EIT Climate-KIC pour prédire l’impact des innovations les plus récentes, ainsi qu’un fort soutien aux innovations (considérées comme révolutionnaires par le programme de démarrage IEC Accelerator et le programme EIC Pathfinder). Le projet facilitera également l’accès à l’EIC Accelerator aux sociétés de portefeuille à un stade avancé de l’EIT Climate-KIC.
Objectif
The pilot project aims to develop and test coordination mechanisms between the EIC and EIT Climate-KIC and their innovation communities, looking specifically at synergies and complementarity between the two organisations. The project will test three areas with specific objectives aiming particularly at creating synergies to align and improve our innovation portfolios towards the European Green Deal goals.
The first area of the proposal supporting EIC and 60 to 80 of its beneficiaries is focused on testing EIT Climate-KIC’s climate impact framework to forecast the climate impact of early-stage innovations and integrate a methodology for measuring systems transformation potential at a portfolio level, supporting a 1.5°C scenario.
The second area suggests support up to 25 EIC beneficiaries stemming out of the EIC Pathfinder programming and especially under Transition to Innovation, Innovation Launchpad and/or the EIC Accelerator Early Stage Programme. It will identify and support those with ground-breaking climate innovations as well as those who are committed to bringing new products and/or businesses to the market and improve their market uptake.
The third area of the project is looking to provide access to 10-15 EIT Climate-KIC’s later-stage portfolio companies to the EIC Accelerator, especially the newly created blended finance instrument. The goal of this work is to design an effective process to channel and fast-track EIT Climate-KIC qualified portfolio companies to EIC’s Accelerator instruments.
The results of the project will lead to recommendations to frame a future long-term collaboration framework between EIC and EIT Climate-KIC under Horizon Europe.
