Exploitation and impact creation to enable change transitions

Through ‘Explore,’ ‘Build,’ and ‘Grow’ phases, we unite research, industry, government, and civil society in a ‘quadruple helix.’ This teamwork shapes the ecosystem’s vision, aligns projects, and boosts capabilities for impactful change. ‘Transform’ tools enable steering of innovations for societal acceptance, paving the path to successful commercialization.
