Miha Škrokov on Business Models for Climate Adaptation and Local Green Deals

© TiCCA4DANU – Caserta, Italy – 27–28 November

The Synergy Workshop held in Caserta on 27–28 November 2025 marked an important milestone for the development of Local Green Deals within the TiCCA4DANU project. After several months of training and coaching, representatives from the four anchor cities came together to reflect on progress, exchange experiences, and align next steps across city and regional levels.

Local Green Deals are a core element of TiCCA4DANU’s place-based approach to climate change adaptation. They function as collaborative frameworks that bring together public authorities, businesses, civil society organisations, and knowledge partners to translate climate adaptation strategies into concrete, locally grounded action.

During the workshop, Miha Škrokov from ANTEJA ECG shared insights on why TiCCA4DANU goes beyond academic research and places strong emphasis on real-world implementation. From a business and investment perspective, he highlighted the importance of developing viable business models that can support the deployment and scaling of climate adaptation solutions.

A key focus of the discussion was the Value Chain Generator, a data-driven tool developed within TiCCA4DANU. The tool is designed to provide companies and investors with initial, structured data that supports early-stage decision-making and helps reduce uncertainty when investing in climate-resilient solutions. By strengthening the link between data, business logic, and local needs, the tool aims to accelerate the transition from concepts to implementation in regions across the Danube area.

The insights shared in Caserta underline TiCCA4DANU’s commitment to bridging research, policy, and practice. By supporting collaboration between cities, regions, businesses, and investors, the project contributes to creating the conditions needed for climate adaptation solutions to move from planning to action.
