Climate innovation in Latin America

As I wait to catch my flight to Argentina, I thought that would be nice to share a few resources about innovation in the region, as well as to invite contacts in Santiago del Estero to join me at the Smart City Expo Santiago del Estero this week (14-16 June). You can use my code (SMARTCITY23XSDE) to join my presentations:

I will be in Buenos Aires afterwards (16-24 June), so tag contacts and organizations working with climate and innovation there who would be up for a coffee and exchanges : )

CLIMATE-KIC IS EXPANDING ITS ACTIVITIES IN LATIN AMERICA

[via Christian Daube ] Soon, Climate-KIC will launch new programmes which will help ESOs (incubators, accelerators, venture builders, etc.) to better support climate innovations across Latin America & Caribbean. Together with local partners, we have started understanding and mapping the climate innovation ecosystem and actors in the region with the goal to find ways to support it better.

1. We've come up with this first list/map (super MVP, not perfect at all):?https://lnkd.in/eR6pkwQp?managed by me at?Climate-KIC?&?ClimAccelerator.

2. If you don't find yourself and want to register to the map, do so here please:?https://lnkd.in/eQuViNjk

3. Maybe we'll publish a ecosystem report full of insights and ideas soon as well - stay tuned!

4. The?Inter-American Development Bank?has published great papers on how to enable climate innovations through public policy: a) Concept:?https://lnkd.in/emC5pced, b) Case study:?https://lnkd.in/eEk5GBSy

If you have questions or want to collaborate, feel free to contact me and Christian ([email protected])

Climate-KIC is constantly recruiting for new roles, so check our Careers Page for new openings: we currently have vacancies on finance and grant management, so share it with contacts who might be interested in these areas!
