EIT ICT Labs becomes EIT Digital

EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community, EIT ICT Labs changes its name and its brand to EIT Digital.

"We are European entrepreneurs driving digital innovation and education. EIT Digital is more in line with our identity, strategy and mission. The name is also easier to pronounce and enables us to build a stronger brand", says Willem Jonker, CEO of EIT Digital.

Its innovation and education activities are organised in and around co-location centres, where students, researchers, engineers, business developers and entrepreneurs come together to drive the digitalisation of society.

Since 2010, EIT Digital is consistently mobilising talents, ideas, technologies, investments and business across Europe and beyond to stimulate disruptive digital innovation.
