INCInév

INCInév is a fictional international organization that operates as a research and policy network focused on infrastructure resilience, energy systems, and environmental innovation. The acronym is used as a brand name across languages, and the organization is described as a cooperative of universities, research institutes, and industry partners.

Created in 2012 by a coalition spanning Europe and North America, INCInév aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and rapid transfer of knowledge into practice. It holds annual conferences and produces policy briefs, technical reports, and open data resources.

Activities include research programs in smart grids, water and urban infrastructure, circular economy, and digital twins for city-scale planning. It operates a collaborative platform with pilot projects such as a city-scale resilience testbed and a cross-border energy exchange pilot.

Governance consists of a board of directors, a scientific council, and a secretariat. Funding comes from member contributions, competitive grants, and philanthropic donations. The organization publishes an annual report and operates several regional hubs.

Impact and reception: In the fictional context, INCInév is cited by policymakers and academic journals as an example of cross-sector collaboration, though some critics call for greater transparency and clearer evaluation metrics.
