Objective
The FINEX project builds on key innovation actors driving the green and digital transition - EIT Digital (Europe's largest digital innovation ecosystem), EIT Climate KIC (Europe’s largest climate innovation agency and community), the Cleantech Group (the world's leading authority on cleantech innovation) - pairing them with world-class cross-border Research & Innovation centres of excellence, who have been deploying experimentation testbed, living labs, sandboxes, and acceleration tools to turn leading research into market ready innovations - FINEST CoE, KIOS CoE and GATE CoE - as well as, Lithuania’s leading Cleantech innovation ecosystem -
Sunrise Valley Science and Technology Park (STP) - a perfect place for innovative technological enterprises to establish and develop businesses, and Riga Technical university (RTU) - the largest Latvian university, leader of the EIT Climate-KIC Hub Latvia, also soon to be a EIT Digital Centre, and with a specific specialised ‘Innovation Ecosystem Development Unit’ a leading actor in local and national digital and cleantech technologies innovation ecosystems with various international education, business support, research and networking programmes.
Key Objectives of the FINEX project are:
1. To stimulate and interconnect the six targeted Innovation ecosystems as Europe’s Cleantech powerhouse, enhancing their gender-inclusiveness, openness, competitiveness, and global potential.
2. To jointly develop world-class experimentation spaces and the promotion of a better aligned EU regulatory, fiscal and legal framework.
3. To identify and support Cleantech domains and innovators requiring the development of experimentation spaces capable of supporting the quick deployment of disruptive and novel Deep Tech and solutions with the potential to help Europe achieve Climate and Industrial leadership.
