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 opportunities
Training 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
