Abstract

The article presents a study developed within the innovation ecosystem of Rome Technopole, focusing on technology transfer in the field of Key Enabling Technologies. The research addresses energy and digital transition in urban regeneration, aiming to create a tool for the co-production of knowledge to support planning for climate-neutral urban districts. The results validate the collected knowledge framework and the developed digital model through a case study applied to Rome’s Ostiense district, highlighting the methodology’s replicability, the scalability of the proposed tools, and their potential for future industrial applications and sustainable urban policymaking.
