San Francisco – Today and tomorrow, on the sidelines of the seventh Clean Energy Ministerial- CEM7 the first reunion of “Mission Innovation” will be held in San Francisco, with the participation of ministers and heads of delegations from 20 other countries in addition to delegations from the European Union. It is a meeting which will witness Italy’s participation represented by a delegation of the Ministry of Economic Development. Italy’s adherence to “Mission Innovation” (MI), took place on November 30, 2015 through Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, during its official launch in the framework of the COP 21 in Paris. “Mission Innovation” is an initiative promoted primarily by the US and France, with the aim of increasing public and private investments in research, development and innovation relating to clean technologies, namely energy efficiency, low carbon technologies and renewable energy. The 20 member countries and the EU have therefore pledged to double the share of public resources devoted to these technological areas in the next five years. (9Colonne)
