The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is the first initiative of its kind set up by the European Union with the mission to increase European sustainable growth and competitiveness by reinforcing the innovation capacity of the EU. It is doing so by focusing on bringing together actors from within the ’Knowledge Triangle’ (business, research and higher education) to work together in novel ways. It builds primarily on its ’Knowledge and Innovation Communities’, with the main aim of building strong communities around physical spaces in which networking, collaboration, incubation, education and wider entrepreneurship support work hand in hand to create the next generation of innovators. This event provided an opportunity for the EIT tol illustrate how it implements its model and mission in practice and showcase its activities, achievements and developments to date at all levels. Video streams and presentations are available online.
