Climate change doesn’t respect borders, but solutions often lack local context. That’s why MAIA Discovery Hubs are designed to bridge the gap between EU climate innovation and regional implementation.

Once operational, these online and offline spaces connect local government and administration, industry leaders, academia and education institutions, and civil society organisations.

This enables:

• Access to tailored climate solutions that fit regional climate challenges.
• Joint development and implementation of novel products, services and processes.
• Cross-regional collaboration and knowledge exchange.

From city planners to local businesses, researchers to policymakers our Discovery Hubs serve the entire regional ecosystem. We’re particularly valuable for:

• Innovation agents seeking solutions to implement regional climate strategies.
• Sustainability consultants looking for tailored solutions.
• Procurement managers sourcing climate-smart technologies.

How it works:

• MAIA Discovery Hubs integrate with the MAIA Marketplace climate change R&D database and existing regional networks and initiatives.
• Transforming global climate knowledge into local climate action—region by region
