Open Innovation Call in Copenhagen targeting Air Quality and Urban Heat Island Effect

The City of Copenhagen, Denmark, is looking for new and innovative ideas, technologies, and approaches to reduce the negative impacts of urban air pollution and the heat island effect. The proposed solutions can approach the challenge from a mitigation perspective (reduce ambient air pollution or temperatures) or from an adaptation perspective (to help the citizens of Copenhagen to cope with the negative effects of air pollution or heat), or both. The goal of the challenge is to identify and pilot the most promising solution within the City in the hopes that it can improve upon the current state of air quality and/or urban heat. The solution, if piloted, will need to be measurable in its effectiveness to do so.
