Innovation portfolios, a practical approach to navigate transformative innovation from Climate-KIC on Vimeo.
Tackling the climate crisis requires transformative system change – a fundamental shift to place sustainability at the core of our societal systems. But how can projects, programs and other initiatives assess their contribution to this transformation, before, during and after their lifespan?
Innovation portfolios are complex structures where projects, programmes and actions enable links with interconnected subgroups of projects and programs, by creating new strategic relations among multiple sectors, multiple locations and multiple levels of government. The application of challenge-led system mapping on innovation portfolios allows multi-stakeholders settings to explore strategic opportunities in terms of multiple nested and articulated innovation portfolios responding to different framings, financial logic and institutional.
In this workshop, we will learn when, how and why to use Innovation portfolios at real-life cases from Western Balkans, Gipuzkoa, Regional Innovation Scheme programme and other multi-location initiatives supported by EIT Climate-KIC
