The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is an independent EU body created to support and promote innovation and technology. EIT empowers entrepreneurs across various development stages in nine thematic areas: cultural and creative industries, digitalization, future of food, health innovation, sustainable energy, manufacturing, raw materials, urban mobility, and climate.

Today, EIT offers 360-degree support — from early-stage ideas and scaling, to venture funding, corporate partnerships, R&D for academic institutions, and market expansion assistance.

During the event, we will explore how Ukrainian companies and organizations can engage with EIT programs, dive into European opportunities supported by Horizon Europe, and share insights on implementing digital solutions via Eastern Ukraine EDIH.

What to expect?

  • Up-to-date information on funding, educational programs, business, and innovation support from EIT.
  • European opportunities and Horizon Europe programs.
  • A lively panel discussion on the role of regions in rebuilding Ukraine through innovation, featuring voices from government, academia, business, and international organizations.
  • A ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Strategic Cooperation between EIT Community Hub Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine EDIH.
  • Networking and contact exchange with potential partners.

Additionally, a roundtable discussion will be held during the event with the support of Eastern Ukraine EDIH. We’ll talk about Ukraine’s integration into the European innovation ecosystem, the barriers businesses face in digital transformation and entering international markets, and real-life success stories of overcoming those challenges.

Participation is free of charge. Space is limited — registration is required!
