Climate Lab is an initiative for innovative and bold alliances to achieve climate neutrality goals as quickly as possible.

With a special focus on the areas with the greatest potential to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions – energy, mobility, building and housing, and circularity – we are shaping new paths of collaboration between companies, start-ups, civil society, science, and the public sector. We measure ourselves by the emissions saved and innovations implemented; by the effective connections and new partnerships; by future-proof jobs and newly set topics. And by our daily commitment to courage and optimism despite all challenges.

The Climate Lab was initiated by the Climate and Energy Fund – funded by resources from the Ministry of Climate Action – and launched through an alliance of Impact Hub, Wien Energie, and EIT Climate-KIC.
