KIM INNOVATIONS

Driving Collaborative Innovation for a Clean Energy Future

KIM Innovations strengthens evidence-based clean energy policies through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and expert-led Think Tank initiatives.

KIM INNOVATIONS

as mission programme includes the annual Technical Advisory Group review and Missions Tracking. Through endorsement of the Track and Review Framework, members also committed to strengthen capability in evidence-based innovation policy through a programme of webinars, knowledge exchange sessions and insights reports on topics identified by members. To deliver on this commitment, and to meet the wider commitments of MI 2.0 – the Mission Innovation Secretariat has launched the Think Tank. The Think Tank will help to:

  • Resolve Common Challenges: KIM INNOVATIONS Members face common challenges in implementing effective clean energy innovation policies, programs, and international collaborations necessary for the energy transition. The Think Tank will provide a space for members to share how they have addressed these and also ask for input on potential solutions.
  • Strengthen Collaboration within MI and with Global Partners: The Think Tank will strive to improve visibility and alignment of activity with MI’s collaborating organizations, such as IEA, IRENA, Breakthrough Energy, Mission Possible Partnership, and the World Bank. This will help enhance knowledge exchange and support broadly beneficial activities within the KIM INNOVATIONS community.
  • Increase Visibility and Outreach: Member-driven knowledge sharing, along with public dissemination online – where all MI members and the broader clean energy community can benefit from it – will enhance KIM INNOVATIONS’s visibility and expand its reach beyond immediate membership. The broader clean energy community will be able to both engage with Think Tank events and access the knowledge the Think Tank will produce.
