Towards future circular cities through innovative education and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

CinnovatE is a pan-European initiative that embeds technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and circular economy thinking in higher education. Funded by the EIT’s Higher Education Initiative and hosted by Climate-KIC, CinnovatE bridges academia, research, and industry to help students turn circular economy ideas into real-world prototypes and market-ready ventures.

The day will focus on how ideas grow from academic training to hands-on experimentation, through entrepreneurship, to start-ups that launch new ideas into the real world. Presentations will showcase innovative new courses, incubators, and partnerships already designing for the circular economy.

Register to attend in person for an opportunity to participate in open dialogue with educators, commercial partners, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers. Or join the livestream online as we collectively explore the future of innovation, education, and circularity in the built environment.

CinnovatE Partners are IE University, Nord University, Architectural Association School of Architecture, LTVK (Lithuanian Business School), South Summit and PKF Attest InnCome. CinnovatE Symposium is organised
by the AA Environmental and Technical Studies Department.
