Hey there, fellow change-makers!

GIVE Innovation Network

We’re GIVE Innovation Network, a passionate group of organizations and individuals focused on sustainable growth in electronics, batteries, and solar panels. We believe in the power of bio-based materials to revolutionize these industries and create a brighter future for our planet.

But that’s not all! We’re also dedicated to fostering new actor constellations for fresh business opportunities, ideation, and international growth. By bringing together entrepreneurs, small businesses, and big corporations with high-impact ambitions, we can generate innovative ideas and drive positive change on a global scale.

One of the key aspects of our approach is the triple-helix perspective. We’re firm believers in the power of collaboration between academia, industry, and government to tackle complex challenges and create sustainable solutions. Through this unique alliance, we can maximize the impact of our efforts and ensure that our innovations lead to real-world benefits.
