ProgrammesEurope is experiencing rapid warming leading to significant climate risks, including heat-related health issues, crop stress from drought, water scarcity, and flooding. To address these challenges, the European Commission's EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change is seeking innovative solutions. That is why they have joined forces with the EIC accelerator team to publish a challenge that is looking for start-ups and scale-ups who can provide solutions to tackle these climate risks.
This Challenge competition focuses more in particular on deep tech solutions including nature-based solutions (NbS) and engineering approaches reinforced by AI and other Key Enabling Technologies (KET).
You can find more information about the call and the application procedure on this website. Please note there is an info day on friday morning 14 November about all the EIC accelerator challenges. You can watch in online via this webpage.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
