Innovation Ecosystems for Sustainability
Concrete solutions to achieve the transition to sustainability right here, right now
A series of web-conferences organized by the Club of Rome-EU Chapter, in collaboration with EIRMA with the participation of JEE
SESSION 2: SUSTAINABLE FINANCES
The series:
Innovation Ecosystems for Sustainability is a new series of web-conferences hosted quarterly by the Club of Rome – EU Chapter’s Vice President, Cristina Vicini-Rademacher, and EIRMA, the European Industrial Research Management Association, with the participation of JEE, Junior Enterprises Europe Association.
Aim:
The series aims at stimulating the multi-stakeholders dialogue to inspire co-creation, identify the challenges and highlight concrete joint solutions, disruptors, and catalysts in view of accelerating our transition to sustainability.
Each web-conference brings together decision makers from different sectors in the economy, from the youth, and from our international members’ communities.
In the best tradition of the Club of Rome – EU Chapter, sustainability is addressed from a systemic angle (technological, societal, financial, ethical, industrial, policy and governance-related, etc.), exploring where and how Europe’s Green Deal’s goals could be reached much faster.
Results:
Results from the Innovation Ecosystems for Sustainability web-conferences will be published quarterly, highlighting and sharing multi-stakeholder best practices, concrete tools, metrics, methodologies, and processes, for effective impact and food for thought along the sustainability roadmap.
