Future directions: Green Innovation Track
ANNU’s earlier page identified a Green Innovation Track as a direction for InnoPark. The activities documented since then provide a basis for a more focused track for low-carbon ventures: solar-powered agriculture in InnoPark’s portfolio, direct incubation for an eco-farm, green entrepreneurship training with FAO, and participation in the CERES renewable-energy entrepreneurship project. A dedicated track could build on these existing activities by:
-
Bringing together mentoring and incubation for ventures in solar energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture and circular materials.
-
Offering workshops on renewable-energy systems, carbon management, product development and sustainable business models.
-
Connecting founders with university researchers, industry partners and opportunities to test their solutions.
-
Helping eligible ventures identify competitive funding opportunities, with funding provided through external programmes attributed to those programmes.
This direction complements ANNU’s published Net-Zero Carbon 2028 commitment, which includes clean-technology investment, renewable energy, and research on smart grids and green materials.
