EIC Communities Pitching Sessions
Organised under the EIC Communities initiative, these pitching sessions aim to foster collaboration between EIC beneficiaries and the broader innovation community. A curated set of EIC-funded project teams will present their latest results and outline their needs for further development and partnerships, giving stakeholders a front-row look at some of the most promising emerging innovations in Europe. The event serves as a platform to showcase breakthrough solutions – from clean technologies and advanced industrial applications to novel healthcare innovations – and to encourage active involvement of stakeholders in the projects’ future growth.
Each project pitch will be concise and focused. Every participating EIC project is allotted 5 minutes to present its project, results, and collaboration needs, followed by an interactive Q&A where attendees can seek clarifications or additional details. This dynamic format ensures that in a short span, stakeholders get a rich overview of multiple innovations and the opportunity to interact directly with the researchers and entrepreneurs behind them.
