4InnoPipe2 builds on the success of the 4InnoPipe project (Cohort 2 of the HEI Initiative), aiming to reshape the role of universities as drivers of innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. By fostering regenerative innovation ecosystems, the project empowers higher education institutions (HEIs) to address the most pressing societal and environmental challenges of our time.

Vision and Mission
Universities have the unique potential to drive economic and social change. Through cutting-edge research, innovative thinking, and skill development, they can create impactful businesses and inspire the next generation of changemakers. 4InnoPipe2 takes this mission further by embedding sustainability and regeneration into every stage of the innovation pipeline—from education and research to business development and industry collaboration.
Rather than simply continuing where 4InnoPipe left off, 4InnoPipe2 expands the project's scope to create lasting, systemic transformation through interdisciplinary and multi-regional collaboration. The project promotes long-term value creation and foresight-driven planning, with a special focus on regenerative practices in the agri-food and pharmaceutical sectors.

Project Partners
The project brings together a diverse and experienced consortium of academic and industry partners from across Europe:
- University of Helsinki (Project Coordinator)
- Zagreb School of Economics and Management
- Reutlingen University
- Kozminski University
- Luxembourg School of Business
- University of Pristina
- ELEKS
- Virtual Center for Digital Innovation NOSC-UA DIH

This multi-stakeholder partnership strengthens cross-sectoral collaboration and ensures broad impact across different innovation ecosystems.
