Calling Lithuanian entrepreneurs: join the EIT Community and innovate with us!

In its mission to power innovation across Europe, the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) reaches out to Lithuanian innovators. During an Awareness Day in Vilnius, co-organised with the Ministry of Economy & Innovation, the EIT is inviting entrepreneurs to join Europe’s largest innovation network and support the development of innovative solutions to tackle pressing global challenges.

As economic competitiveness increases across the globe and the need for more sustainable societies becomes ever clearer. Europe’s future looks increasingly dependent on its ability to innovate. Lithuania’s innovation performance increased relative to that of the EU and the ease of starting a business is 78.3 points compared to 76.9 in the EU according to the European Innovation Scoreboard. Yet untapped opportunities for Lithuania to expand its innovation capacity remain.

The EIT is focused on powering innovators to turn their best ideas into products, services and jobs for the benefit of citizens. The EIT Community supports students, researchers and entrepreneurs in growing their entrepreneurial skills and ventures to tackle some of our most pressing global challenges from climate change and sustainable energy to healthy living and innovative food solutions. We want more Lithuanian innovators to join our activities.
