Climate Smart Cities Challenge
IBS Foundation Selected As A Finalist!

UN-Habitat and Vinnova unveil the finalists of the Climate Smart Cities Challenge

UN-Habitat and Vinnova, Sweden’s Innovation Agency, have announced the innovative companies that will demonstrate cleantech solutions in four world cities.

A total of 45 finalists were selected from nearly 200 proposals that were reviewed by an expert advisory panel, the cities and the Climate Smart Cities Challenge partners.

Applications were evaluated based on three criteria: whether they were ready to be demonstrated in a real-world environment, well-suited to join a team and have great potential to achieve impact.

“This is an exciting opportunity to develop carbon neutral smart homes with a team of experts and IBS Foundation is looking forward to being part of the kick-off workshop in February 2022” says Eckardt Dauck, Chairman of IBS Foundation.
