Short description

An EIT INNOVEIT Weeks hybrid event

Join the EIT Community on 21 September to discover Europe’s largest innovation ecosystem and the EIT’s unique approach for creating Europe’s future digital industry, supporting the digital transformation of Europe’s economy, and putting the education dimension into digital innovation and entrepreneurship.

Digital and Green are they key priorities of the European Union and its Member States. Europe has to drastically catch up on digital entrepreneurship and digital skills. Digital touches upon all aspects of life and all economic sectors. Digital is not only at the heart of EIT Digital, but also a core innovation enabler in all domains where EIT Innovation Communities are active, such as digital health, green digital, the application of digital technology in industry and cities, as well as the digital enabling of the creative sector.

Find out how the EIT supports the creation of tomorrow’s digital entrepreneurs and promotes a real change of mindset towards an entrepreneurial culture and attitude in Europe. Explore how the EIT Community invests into Europe’s digital talent of tomorrow, supports future start-up founders and intrapreneurs, and makes an invaluable contribution to growth and jobs in Europe.
