The INNOVEIT series, already a cornerstone of the EIT Community powered by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT), has undergone a significant rebranding this year to reinforce its identity as a central hub for European innovation. The renewed approach underlines the EIT Community’s commitment to fostering impactful connections between start-ups, investors, policy makers and corporates.

The EIT Community’s participation at Hello Tomorrow was multifaceted, offering a rich program that bridged discussions on talent development, industry requirements and deep tech opportunities:

• Engaging panels: The session “Boosting Deep Tech in Europe – Staying on Top with EIT” brought together industry and start-ups to address pressing challenges, including tackling the European talent gap in deep tech.

Attendees also gained valuable insights into how the EIT Community fosters innovation by connecting research, industry and application.
• Interactive booth and collaboration hub: At the EIT Community’s dedicated booth, visitors explored the diverse opportunities the innovation network offers – ranging from funding to training programs – while connecting with representatives from various sectors. The booth served as a hub for collaboration and an essential touchpoint for startups, corporates and academics alike.
