How can cleantech innovations escape the 'pilot trap'?
13 organisations from industry, academia and the public sector have partnered in the Business Readiness Acceleration for Innovative Regional Energy Ecosystems (BRAVE) initiative to find answer.
Across the next four years, partners will build seven flagship regional investment ecosystems for cleantech across Europe. Through scalable investment programmes for low-carbon energy systems, electrified public transport fleets, and residential heat pump schemes, the partnership will test and iterate solutions to cross the 'business readiness gap' for cleantech at the local level.
With funding from the European Union’s Interreg North Sea programme, BRAVE aims to mobilise a combined €150m of new investment into local energy systems to find scalable public-private approaches.
