Project description
Engaging social entrepreneurs in energy innovative solution development
The energy directives of the European Commission advocate for innovations facilitating the transition to sustainable renewable energy and promoting cross-sector activities. However, numerous urgent, complex, and systemic challenges persist. The EU-funded WEnnovate project endeavours to develop innovative solutions to advance clean energy accessibility for all Europeans. It specifically targets social entrepreneurs with deep tech and digital innovations in two phases: an exploratory phase and a stakeholder engagement phase. Collaborating partners from Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Ukraine are working collectively to ensure the project's success. By conducting research, forging partnerships, and identifying areas of competitive advantage, the project aims to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfil the objectives outlined in the European Innovation Agenda.
Objective
The WEnnovate project is a collaborative effort to create new systems and solutions to address urgent complex and systemic challenges. The focus is on the transition to sustainable renewable energy and cross-sector activities in energy and digital innovations, aligned with the European Commission's energy directives. The project aims to strengthen the pathways towards Clean Energy for All Europeans and boost Local Energy Communities and Energy Sharing. Social entrepreneurs and professionals play a critical role in developing new solutions to societal problems and environmental challenges, making them important drivers of innovation. The project is divided into two phases: an exploratory phase focusing on social entrepreneurs with deep tech and digital innovations, and a stakeholder engagement phase focusing on engaging stakeholders to gather insights for faster alignment on policy advice and action planning. The project's partners come from Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, and the Netherlands, with a complementary role in ensuring the widest possible engagement of dialogue with ecosystem actors and the sound delivery of transitional action plans. The WEnnovate project aims to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the strategic objectives of the New European Innovation Agenda.
The project will conduct research and co-design methodology to building partnerships, analysing existing innovation agendas and strategies, identifying areas of competitive advantage for sustainable economic growth, and mapping gaps, needs, and opportunities. The consortium will also enhance synergies and complementarities of their programmes and encourage the alignment of their innovation and related policies impacting innovation in line with the new European Innovation Agenda, as well as creating new frameworks to support ecosystems.
