> Moravia-Silesia, Czech Republic The Moravian-Silesian Hub is a public-private quadruple helix partnership that “aims” to drive a just transition. Main Challenges The region’s legacy of heavy industry created both prosperity and long-term environmental damage. The decline of coal and steel left many young people unemployed and without prospects. The central challenge is transforming a carbon-intensive economy into a sustainable and inclusive bioeconomy. Marginalised groups involved Business model developed The Hub fosters inclusive economic models such as social enterprises, producer cooperatives, living labs, and public– private partnerships. These initiatives provide reskilling opportunities, empower disadvantaged youth, and support community-driven innovation. By embedding participation and collaboration into economic activities, the Hub creates pathways for sustainable growth and resilience in postindustrial areas. What’s Next? The Hub aspires to become a regional engine of inclusive green innovation, transforming post-industrial areas into vibrant centres of bioeconomic activity and community empowerment. • Young unemployed people, especially former coal and steel workers The Hub gives our community a real voice in shaping the region’s future — it’s not just about innovation, it’s about inclusion. website linkedIn
