After visiting Copenhagen, DK and signing the “Letter of Intent” on 06.07.2021 with BLOXHUB, SPCleantech started to create the first sustainable urbanization hub in Poland – krk UrbanHub.pl. SPCleantech has partnered with BLOXHUB because the challenges of global urbanization and climate change require partnership and new ways of working together.

Based on the Letter of Intent, SPCleantech has launched a new initiative to create krk UrbanHub in which BLOXHUB in Copenhagen is a strategic partner – the leading European platform for sustainable urbanization. The founders of BLOXHUB are the city of Copenhagen, the Danish Ministry of Industry, Business and Finance and Realdania. SPCleantech is one of over 350 BLOXHUB members.

The leader and coordinator of krk UrbanhHub is SPCleantech. If you are interested in participating in this innovative venture, please contact j.kahl@spcleantech.com

The second partner is Munich Urban Colab, a hub created by the German organization UnternehmerTUM and the city of Munich. This state-of-the-art innovation center located in the creative district of Munich on an area of ​​11,000 m2 is the place where corporations, entrepreneurs, scientists, architects, creators and talents come together to work together with the municipality of Munich. The institution provided a unique opportunity for decision-makers to meet these entities under one roof.

krk UrbanhHub is a national and international meeting place that engages people in architecture, design and sustainable urban development. This is done through exhibitions, debates, events, business development and new partnerships. Here, the door is open to anyone who wants to experience, feel and understand city life – and anyone who wants to participate in professional networks and deep professional environments that develop the sustainable cities of tomorrow. At urban hub.pl, we will create sustainable solutions for the livable cities of the future.

At krk UrbanhHub we will include asking questions like:

  • How can innovation in engineering and infrastructure help us design and redesign our cities to become sources of green innovation?
  • How can cities become more resilient in a future of climate unrest?

krk UrbanhHub aims to integrate the environment through:

CONNECT – an interface for interdisciplinary innovation
