EIT Climate-KIC (Knowledge and Innovation Community) is Europe’s foremost climate innovation initiative. We understand that keeping global temperature rise below 1.5˚C demands unprecedented change. It requires new social dynamics, ways of doing business, capital flows, policymaking, economic models, and new ways of living. That is why our mission is to leverage the power of systems innovation to transform whole places, industries, and value chains by 2030, working across sectors to develop and scale ambitious, mission-led programmes. Established in 2010 and headquartered in Amsterdam, we orchestrate a community of more than 200 organisations including large corporations and SMEs, municipal and regional governments, universities, and research institutes, as well as non-governmental organisations and uncommon actors. Historically, we have been funded by our founder and core funder, the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT), but we are currently transitioning to a multi-funder model. EIT Climate-KIC colleagues are based in one of our local offices across Europe or work remotely from home based in one of the countries where we have a branch. We meet at our local offices to exchange and connect and use online collaboration tools work with each other and with our Community. On occasion, we meet in-person as teams, and once per year as an organisation.

We’re servicing companies within the Wind Turbine Industry, in the process of selling their Obsolete Stock/ Dead Stock products. Company Mission Our mission is to take responsibility for the environment by minimizing industrial production though easy re-use of produced products and components. Hereby we bring down the CO2 from global Production Facilities. Problem Obsolete Stock/ Dead Stock is an inevitable part of most industries. It ties up cash flow and represents a loss of revenue. The environmental focus of decreasing the high levels of CO2 coming from the production of new products, puts the industry in a situation, where they will have to report their CO2 emissions plus commit to a certain waste reduction within the following years. The situation calls for a high focus on protecting the world's resources and the necessity for re-using existing products and components. Especially Dead Stock components, which are still new and therefore hasen't yet been utilized.

🎛 The Smart Home for Complex Cloud IT Infrastructure ☁️ "Mama always said, SWITCH THE LIGHT OFF WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT! Our utility bill is going through the roof." The same principle holds for cloud computing. But everything is turned on 24/7, by default, with no apparent switches available. Complex interfaces, scripting, and monitoring. A mostly manual process, adding hours and hours to engineers' schedules. Wasting businesses' budgets by over 32%. In an industry estimated at $2,4 Bn by 2025. The Smart SaaS Switch Ximplifi is the smart switch helping businesses keep their cloud consumption in check. The SaaS layers on top of the cloud (Microsoft Azure), handling complex shut/scale down of Virtual Machines, Disks, Databases, and more. Simply with a switch (it's a toggle, but who counts 🤷) Not Artificial. Simply Intelligent. The SaaS securely connects with the customer's internal governance and security directory (AzureAD), constantly monitoring and analysing for cost opportunities. To help them get the most cost-optimised cloud consumption outside hours of activity. Where competitors mostly focus on analysing billing data, Ximplifi takes it further. We analyse usage patterns and automate the operational part of managing resources' costs. Giving back valuable time and energy to businesses, helping them ensure state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure at minus 26% of the cost. Join us in taming cloud computing for businesses to prosper.

There are one billion cars in the world, a number that is set to double in the next 10 years—we’re doing everything we can to stop that from happening.   Getaround was founded to change the way that people think about cars. With the average car sitting idle 22 hours a day,  there had to be a better way to put the cars parked on our streets to better use.   By providing a safe and seamless way for people to share cars with each other we want to change the way the world thinks about car ownership.

We produce the SpaceInvader – a pallet rack that lets companies easily double stack shipping pallets and thereby carry more cargo with every transport. Capable of optimizing a company’s supply chain down to every single pallet, SpaceInvader will let companies make full use of the vast amounts of cargo space currently wasted every day. With our patented design, it is our mission to 'invade' that space as much as possible, cut transport costs, and effect a more sustainable transport industry.

The uMover® is a smart and usability-focused 3-wheel electrical vehicle for transporting people over shorter indoor and outdoor distances (0,5-5 km). It has been developed by us, DTU spinout CJ Company IVS, whom have built the uMover® upon a future mobility concept proposed by Continental AG (CAG). The uMover® targets employees who need to travel frequently within shorter distances, enabling them to become more efficient at work by easing their way of travel and reducing their travel time substantially. The uMover® will be a superior work-environment travel solution, as it – due to its smart design – offers the flexible advantages of walking, but with the similar speed and ease as driving a car or a bike. Drawbacks of the solutions in the market today are high prices, space requirements (especially for cars), no compliance with traffic regulations and laws and poor safety control (limiting the indoor application possibilities). Through cooperation with DTU and CAG we have been able to complete a full proof-of-concept and develop several of the unique mechanical components and are now in the detailing phase of the mechanical and electrical construction for a scale-up of the uMover®.

Maker is a member-based non-profit association founded in 2015 as a platform for the maker movement in Denmark and the Nordics. Since then, we've evolved from a traditional makerspace into an open lab and community central for physical entrepreneurs, startups and independent creatives. We develop, share and learn together with our members and across projects in the EU, in Denmark and in the Baltic Sea Region. Together with research institutions, companies, makerspaces and governments, we focus on sustainability and physical entrepreneurship; from open-source hardware to distributed design, aiming to transition makerspaces into circular spaces and develop sustainable practices for recycling materials, local production, and more.

ParkNotice er en dansk startup, der digitaliserer parkeringsafgifter. Hvert år udstedes over en halv million parkeringsbøder i Danmark, men processen er stadig analog og papirbaseret. Vi vil gøre det smartere, hurtigere og mere brugervenligt for både bilister og parkeringsselskaber. Med ParkNotice kan bilister modtage deres parkeringsafgifter digitalt — via app, e-Boks, SMS eller push-besked — så de undgår papir på bilruden, forsinkede breve eller bøder, der forsvinder. Samtidig sparer parkeringsselskaber og kommuner tid, penge og papir. Løsningen kan på sigt udvides til andre typer af bøder, men vi starter med parkeringsbøder, hvor problemet er størst og mest presserende.

Providing solutions to the market which increases the utilization of energy. Energy comes at a cost for the consumer and the environment, whereby we owe it to utilize energy in the most efficient way possible. In some processes the input energy is converted efficiently in conceiving the output, whereas other processes utilize high amounts of energy, which eventually is wasted. Sogreeen Powers mission is to reduce the waste of energy by providing solutions which makes processes more efficient. Sogreen Power brings an analytical and technological approach to the table to recover those large or small margins of efficiency when it makes sense as a business case. We break down the problems to identify what can be improved, where know-how and first principles to derive the solutions which are taken from idea to concept, MVP and final solution. We want to contribute to increase the sustainability of the world and socities we live in.
