The Grantham Institute is collaborating with Imperial College London to create a Centre for Climate Change Innovation, which will draw together a critical mass of expertise around climate change solutions technology. A hothouse for innovation, the centre will nurture a new generation of climate change pioneers, entrepreneurs and innovators to develop business solutions for a sustainable and resilient low-carbon future.

Imperial has a long history of success in delivering real businesses and a pipeline of clean tech entrepreneurs. The Centre for Climate Change Innovation will seamlessly merge learning with practical and tangible enterprise development in partnership with the best academics, global corporates and innovative companies. It will draw on Imperial’s world-class facilities, science and engineering knowhow,business expertise and networks in order to help catalyse this century’s great economic transformation.

"As founding partners of the EIT Climate-KIC Accelerator Programme, the Grantham Institute has over eight years of experience in supporting students, researchers, business and start-ups develop cleantech innovations into successful businesses, supporting the creation of 80 new cleantech businesses since 2012. They are successful pioneers - raising over $140M of investment, creating more than 500 jobs and beginning to shape the low carbon economy. We are proud of the recognition their achievements have received - and the new Centre for Climate Change Innovation will allow us to enhance and improve on this success. Our intent is that it will catalyse the broader development of cleantech in London, such that London becomes a world-leading contributor to a sustainable and resilient low-carbon future."
