Description

CORE12.01 aspires to significantly enhance the entrepreneurial competence of 30 European deep tech researchers and 60 ecosystem actors, facilitating breakthrough climate solutions. The participants will be selected as Innovation Fellows (IFs) through an Open Call into the Responsive Ecosystem Fellowship Programme (REFP), a 25-hour modular program that combines training, mentorship, and a KPI-driven practical approach. By integrating a quadruple-helix model that unites academia, industry, government, and civil society, CORE12.01 draws on each sector's expertise to develop tailored methodologies and fosters deeper connections within and between innovation ecosystems, empowering collaborations, accelerating market entry, and improving business survival rates. Through the development and use of the Responsive Ecosystem Toolbox (RET) and the Responsive Innovation Monitoring Tool (RIM), IFs will acquire essential entrepreneurial skills, including market analysis, business modeling, stakeholder engagement, and fundraising, while actively participating in networking activities. The REFP’s 5 training modules will support 30 IFs in achieving concrete commercialization milestones with masterplans, increasing their entrepreneurial competence by 30-50%, and addressing pressing societal needs via their solutions. Ensuring diverse participation with 25% female and 35% coming from Emerging/Moderate Innovator Countries, CORE12.01 seeks to bridge the gender gap in leading roles in the climate-tech innovation landscape, building transnational collaboration between siloed and networked researchers The successful implementation of CORE12.01 will showcase the establishment of a more interconnected, resilient, and impact-driven innovation ecosystem across Europe, facilitating research-industry collaborations to support the transition to a zero-carbon society.
