On 15 November 2017, the Climate Knowledge and Innovation Community (Climate-KIC), Europe’s largest public-private-partnership dedicated to climate related innovation by business, launches their second series of Climate Innovation Insights at the international Productronica 2017 trade fair in Munich, Germany.

Edited by Geraldine Brennan, the series shares understanding of how to nurture and sustain cross-sector collaboration to scale up the circular economy and Accelerate the transition to sustainable production systems. The Innovation Insights are a mix of nine case studies of recent innovation experiences, current practice as well as challenges and lessons learnt by Climate KIC partners from various sectors and European geographies. The cases span new organisational and business models which deliver both climate impact and social co-benefits; novel multi-stakeholder collaborations that scale –up circular strategies; the need to open up intellectual property and data sharing; and the role of fiscal incentives and wider policy measures to create level playing fields.
