Integrating the three sides of the knowledge triangle to drive entrepreneurial innovation
EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY (EIT)
Facilitating the following transitions:
from idea to product
from lab to market
from student to entrepreneur
in areas of high societal need.
THE EIT’s ENGINE: ITS KNOWLEDGE &
INNOVATION COMMUNITIES (KICs)
• Highly integrated, creative, excellence-driven and autonomous long-term partnerships
• Driven by societal challenges: climate change mitigation and adaptation,
future information and communication society and sustainable energy
• Fostering the emergence of entrepreneurs
Internationally distributed innovation hubs working across borders.
THE KIC MODEL
• Results/High-Impact-oriented activities: KICs implement a Business Plan with measurable deliverables, results and impact
• Long-term strategic approach: each KIC is set up for a minimum of 7 years to eventually become self sustainable.
• Smart funding & high degree of commitment of partners: EIT funding to KICs is max. 25% of their total budget over time with 75% to be attracted from other sources, both public and private.
• The co-location model: each KIC consists of 5-6 world class innovation hotspots building and leveraging on existing European capacities.
Climate-KIC

• Mission: KIC InnoEnergy’s strategic objective is to become the leading engine
of innovation in the field of sustainable energy.
• Thematic Focus Area: energy form chemical fuels, renewables, clean coal
technologies, sustainable nuclear and renewable energy convergence,
intelligent, energy efficient buildings and cities and european smart electric grid
and electric storage
• Governance: CEO - Diego Pavia, Chairman - Karl-Friedrich Ziegahn
• Partners inc. EnBW, Vattenfall, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT),
Grenoble Ecole de Management, CEA, EDF, VITO, ESADE, Gas Natural Fenosa,
