About this Event

After a short summer break, the iKEN event series returns!

iKEN’s extensive, existing network of European cities of innovation offer the opportunity to learn first-hand from the inspiring innovation happening across Europe in response to COVID-19.

On September 7th, we'll explore how cities can repair, rebuild and re-design a hopeful post-lockdown future for our cities, communities and people.

COVID-19 resulted in previously unthinkable carbon emission cuts. Going forward, experts have been calling on governments to implement a green recovery to ensure that decisions made to rebuild the economy simultaneously work towards our climate change goals.

But what is a Green Recovery and how can we achieve it? Chaired by Alison McRae, Senior Director at Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, we’ll hear from experts from two European cities who sit at the forefront of sustainable innovation; Milan and Vienna.
