Calling all digital entrepreneurs! Join EIT Digital Venture Program

Dare the unexpected

Talent is equally spread across the world but opportunities are not. Entrepreneurs have a natural urge to go against the norm and find their own path. We at EIT Digital believe in innovators who set out to break down barriers and change an industry, no matter where they come from. Through our Venture Program we invest in individuals who may come from less expected locations but have the energy to become future global entrepreneurs. As we know that entrepreneurial talent is everywhere, we bring opportunity to where talent is. Join us on this journey and help us to champion the unexpected!
