Scoreboard. The overarching mission is to contribute to the advancement of the climate adaptation and mitigation
goals enabling the innovation performance of these countries and regions by strengthening the capacity of their
innovation enablers and actors and linkages among them (such as business accelerators, incubators, start-ups,
scale-ups, businesses including SMEs, agencies, educational and research institutions and their infrastructures, etc.)
through facilitated cooperation at local, national and regional level. EIT Climate-Kl[ RIS programme offers a concrete
way to design, build and deliver mission-oriented portfolios of interconnected programmes on skills development
and learning, entrepreneurship, and innovation to catalyse fast decarbonisation, deliver future-proof jobs, generate
new markets aligned to 1.5° and drive forward adaptation and resilience. Please visit www.climate-kic.org for more
