About the Programme

Achieving carbon neutrality in energy and resource-intensive industrial regions requires creative solutions and forward-thinking when taking climate action. Re-Industrialise supports public authorities, companies and entrepreneurs within energy and resource-intensive European industrial regions in the planning, development and roll-out of their transition towards a low-carbon economy.

The challenges

Regional industry transformation carries a perceived risk of negative economic and social impacts on communities, which can lead to resistance of policy makers, businesses and civil society in these regions. This hinders innovation and substantially slows down climate action. New solutions to tackle industrial transition need to combine both decarbonisation and economic development.

What we offer

We believe that actors within high emitting regions can reduce their emissions and meet environmental targets, while simultaneously improving economic, employment, and social well-being.

EIT Climate-KIC and its partners are here to support key players in industrial areas and regions to uptake sustainable transition pathways by:

• Identifying new markets and potential transition opportunities
• Offering access to financing for programmes that deliver sustainable prosperity
• Quantifying the business potential for a specific region, industrial area or city
• Providing an opportunity to network with relevant organisations in the region to help transitions move forward
• Creating the space to share and learn from others undergoing similar transitions
• Helping create a start-up ecosystem to develop innovations that supports the transition
• Customised training opportunities that enable stakeholders to steer and manage the transition phases
