Digitalisation

Europe has the potential to become a tech giant. To achieve this, it must stay ahead of the curve, steering digital technology in line with European values and sustainability goals that benefit the planet and its people.

EIT Digital believes Europe can lead this wave. The Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) has made it its mission to keep Europe at the forefront of digital innovation by developing Europe’s digital talent and supporting the creation of internationally successful ventures.

The digital transition can be a force for good – if it is in the right hands. Strategically vital technologies such as AI, machine learning and encryption must be used to benefit both people and planet.

EIT Digital can help you through:

• Entrepreneurial education – access blended, entrepreneurial programmes via its Master, Doctoral, Professional and Summer Schools.
• Innovation – identify and advance breakthrough digital technologies through cutting-edge R&D activities.
• Business creation – scale deep-tech ventures through its Open Innovation Factory, which provides funding, mentoring, and access to a pan-European network of over 350 partners.

According to the EIT model, EIT KICs are expected to generate their own revenue and become financially sustainable in 15 years. In 2024, following the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation with the EIT, EIT Digital entered a new phase as a financially sustainable member of the EIT Community, continuing to align with the EIT model while operating with greater autonomy.
