GreenQ programme

The GreenQ programme is run by ‘EIT Hub China’, as part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Global Outreach programme, in partnership with the Low Carbon College in Lingang, Shanghai – a joint initiative between Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Edinburgh. This organisational partnership enables European high growth start-ups to access facilities, knowledge and networks to support their scaling in Asia.

Green Q was developed for University of Edinburgh by ECCI’s Head of International and Dean of the China-UK Low Carbon College Ed Craig.

The programme is designed to

  • Rigorously and effectively support a selected number of the best EIT KIC Accelerator Stage-3 or later start-ups to become familiar, informed and actively engaged and impactful with Chinese partners in the Chinese, Asian and Global market.
  • Identify, enable and accelerate the formation of partnerships, opportunities and business engagement between Europe and Chinese organisations and their innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems.
