Our team had the thrill of an extensive field trip discovering the diverse sustainability landscapes across European cities. This research informs our vision for launching THE GARDENS communities.

Highlights include:

This coastal German hub excels in climate solutions from its renowned Center for Marine and Atmospheric Science to startups like GreenKite developing ocean cleanup tech. THE GARDENS will build on Hamburg's eco-innovation legacy.

We were inspired by the creative spirit of Cologne where events like E-Electricity Festival showcase future-facing art while TH Köln University incubates green energy startups. We'll tap this vibrant mix of culture and technology.

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology exemplifies how world-class research in areas like transportation and energy spawns sustainable ventures. KIT's DITF institute offers models for our incubator programming.

Barcelona's breadth of smart cities deployment combined with its empowerment of grassroots neighbourhood innovation demonstrates the power of complementary top-down and bottom-up approaches - something we want to mirror.

Bilbao is a shining example of transforming urban systems holistically. The city applied principles of regenerative development, ecosystem design, and community engagement we can learn from as we retrofit spaces.

Madrid offers incomparable convergence opportunities. Home to dozens of accelerators and startup communities plus leading universities, it represents the crossroads of Europe. Madrid provides fertile ground for THE GARDENS to convene diverse change-makers and empower them to drive progress together.

Known for its arts, culture, and architecture, Porto also boasts robust innovation networks like Startup Porto that connect emerging ventures to leading institutions. Porto exemplifies how creativity and entrepreneurship intersect to drive regeneration. Our hubs will build on this momentum.

Lisbon embodies frugal yet disruptive innovation through entities like the creative Startup Lisboa accelerator. Its events and incubation models are inspirational for building communities on a budget.

As holder of the European Green Capital award, Valencia leads in urban ecology and digitization. It applies smart technologies thoughtfully to enhance quality of life. The breathtaking City of Arts and Sciences exemplifies innovation in built environments that inspires us. We look forward to planting community roots here.

Milan balances global fashion fluency with emerging excellence in sustainability. Hubs like Social Innovation Academy nurture socially-focused ventures. We hope to complement the city's vibrant innovation ecosystem.

Vienna's social housing leadership, sustainability commitment and technical research capabilities enable purpose-driven ventures. Collaborative communities are emerging in zones like the Mischgebiet creative district.

From sustainability-minded technical universities like ETH to the recent wave of climate tech ventures, Zurich's innovation ecosystem represents the future. Groups like Climate-KIC foster systems thinking. The city approved a decarbonization transition strategy showing its commitment. Zurich will be an ideal launchpad for THE GARDENS.

Amsterdam has become a nexus of climate innovation through combinations of government-supported programs like Climate-KIC, corporates like Shell GameChanger, and grassroots networks like Amsterdam Climate Collective. We have much to learn from the city's vibrant ecosystem.

Stay tuned as we announce the first cities selected for THE GARDENS! We can't wait to unveil the progress on our hubs across Europe.
