Why is it different? We fill the existing gaps…
Gap 1: Business opportunities coming from research and development of innovative technology are hard to identify
KIC InnoEnergy aims to bridge this gap through:
Systematic scouting process, based on industry needs and market opportunitiesTraining programmes for researchers (e.g. “From Science to Business” course)Widespread information and promotion

Gap 2: Traditional support services to business creation (incubators) are usually close systems, with low business approach, and few of them specialize in the energy field
KIC InnoEnergy aims to bridge this gap through creation of an European Incubator with 6 entry points specialized in energy:
Open to any energy related business opportunity, coming from the KIC society and from any interested researchers and entrepreneurs
