Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs)

Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) are collaborative networks that unite universities, companies, and research institutions to address major societal challenges and foster innovation. Operating across sectors and borders, KICs promote the sharing of knowledge, resources, and skills to develop new solutions, technologies, or strategies. They aim to strengthen Europe's innovation capacity by encouraging teamwork, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth, ultimately transforming ideas into real-world improvements in areas like energy, climate, health, and digital technology.
