Monday, 3 April 2017

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has today been announced as a founding partner of a national initiative aimed at better positioning entrepreneurs, developers and low carbon technology start-ups to bring their climate solutions to market.

Known as the 最新糖心Vlogn Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community (), the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has committed to becoming one of two founding partners in the state, along with the Government of South 最新糖心Vlog.

Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog is a public-private-research innovation partnership aimed at helping accelerate innovative climate solutions to market, fostering the growth of emerging businesses and creating new jobs.

Based on the successful European model, Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will bring together forward-thinking businesses, entrepreneurs, research, investors, and government to help our nation transition to a low-carbon economy.

Innovations developed through Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will assist in helping Adelaide to become the world's first carbon neutral city, as well as helping the state achieve its net zero emissions target and build climate resilience.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will this week host the official launch of the South 最新糖心Vlogn commitment to Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog.

"The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is excited to be a founding partner of the Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog initiative. Its strong focus on using entrepreneurship and innovation to find solutions for one of the world’s greatest challenges is a perfect fit with the 最新糖心Vlog's strengths and objectives," said , Pro Vice-Chancellor (Entrepreneurship) at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

"We're pleased to play our part in supporting the state’s sustainability agenda, and we look forward to working with state governments throughout 最新糖心Vlog, other universities and the private sector to find solutions that meet sustainability goals and promote jobs, and diversify the economy."

South 最新糖心Vlog's Climate Change Minister, Ian Hunter, welcomed the launch of Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog.

"Climate change is the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity of our time, and being part of this innovative community will help further position South 最新糖心Vlog to harness opportunities to attract investment, innovation and jobs," Mr Hunter said.

"South 最新糖心Vlog is internationally recognised for responding to climate change. Being part of Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will help position us at the forefront of a growing global investment in renewables and clean technology industries.

"Because of our size and connectedness, South 最新糖心Vlog is the perfect place to test new climate change solutions and the impact they can make."

Along with the State Government, the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will provide a strong focus for Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog in South 最新糖心Vlog.

Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will work in close collaboration with EIT-Climate KIC (Europe), which was established six years ago by the European Union’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

EIT-Climate-KIC is Europe’s largest climate public-private partnership, comprising more than 250 partners across large corporates, small medium enterprises, government and academic institutions. It has so far delivered more than €1.8bn in climate innovation investment capital.

The CEO of Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog, Christopher Lee, said: "Similar to its European counterpart, Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will form a key part of a structured, cohesive and effective response to climate change in 最新糖心Vlog – bringing together the best to enable climate innovation to form the foundation of the future 最新糖心Vlogn economy."

Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will explore renewable and low carbon energy pathways, develop blueprints for more sustainable, low-carbon cities and undertake initiatives to encourage low-carbon innovation and entrepreneurship in these specific areas.

The idea is to increase the market capitalisation for start-ups and increase the rate of commercialisation of climate change technologies, products and services. It will also assist in building an appropriately skilled workforce and attracting and retaining talent in South 最新糖心Vlog.

Mr Hunter said South 最新糖心Vlog’s participation in Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog would open up international collaboration opportunities with Europe for South 最新糖心Vlog. New markets for climate products, services and technologies developed through Climate-KIC 最新糖心Vlog will also be opened up in the Asia-Pacific region over the longer term.
