Eleven climate innovation projects across Europe tackling COVID-19 related challenges have been selected to receive funding as part of the “Pandemic Response Projects”, one of the two instruments of the EIT Crisis Response Initiative<\/a>. The Climate KIC team chose the projects with the highest potential for job creation and economic regeneration to contribute to the European Union\u2019s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/h4>\n

Selected from among 137 applicants, the 11 successful proposals from nine countries respond to emergence from the pandemic\u2019s impact and propose climate solutions in line with the need for green regeneration. They are innovation activities in circular economy, built environment and the financial system, three areas that were prioritised due to their high potential impact on economic growth, job creation and wellbeing. They also align with Climate KIC’s systemic approach to innovation and have clear objectives to support a just and people-centred transition towards a net-zero-carbon, circular economy.<\/p>\n

The range of innovation projects receiving support include:<\/p>\n
