EIT Regional Innovation Scheme 2018

Innovation has a prominent role in Europe’s efforts to tackle major societal and environmental challenges. The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is working towards this objective through its operational arm, the Innovation Communities, by accelerating innovation and supporting the creation of conditions where innovation is more likely to thrive and generate breakthroughs. The EIT Regional Innovation Scheme Report provides an insight into the achievements of the
EIT’s Innovation Communities in strengthening the innovation ecosystem in parts of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. It outlines the main on-the-ground activities, deployed services and cooperation mechanisms with local players that took place as part of the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme. In addition, it highlights success stories of start-ups and innovators that have benefited from the collaboration with the EIT Innovation Communities and created an impact with their innovative solutions.
