EIT Awards 2013 - Event Yearbook and Diary

Here are the Yearbook and Diary from the event that was held in Budapest on 12 November 2013.

Looking at the nominees, we have immense potential here in Europe, not only in research but among the young people at the universities or outside them. So we definitely need to be more visible to them. We need to help them to connect with each other, so they can learn and get inspired. David Maasz - Serial Entrepreneur, Business Angel, Startup Evangelist

We will talk a lot about what entrepreneurship is today, but let me set the scene by saying that there are two Europes. One is very innovative and one is very entrepreneurial. And the challenge is to bring these perspectives together. These perspectives exist at the level of a single individual, and also at the level of countries. Some of us have already lived through dramatic, very successful transformation periods and right now it is the first time ever – possibly in over 2,000 years – that Europe is becoming reunited and is able to leverage its whole potential.
