Our light and decentralised operation, steered by the EIT Governing Board and Management Team, draws its strength from our partners and innovators.
A web of partnerships with a clear goal
Our Knowledge and Innovation Community structures allow our partners and innovators to refine ideas, train talent, and create businesses between themselves to fight global challenges. Our job at the EIT is to ensure our Community is making headway on our sustainability goals and making Europe a leader in this domain.
