The EIT was created to drive Europe’s ability to innovate. The EIT is a unique EU initiative, the only one to fully integrate business, education and research. The Institute supports the development of dynamic pan-European partnerships among leading universities, research labs and companies. These are called Innovation Communities and each is dedicated to finding solutions to a specific global challenge. Together with their leading partners, they offer a wide range of innovation and entrepreneurship activities. This includes education courses that combine technical and entrepreneurial skills, business creation and acceleration services and innovation driven research projects. The EIT Community powers innovators and entrepreneurs across Europe to turn their best ideas into products, services, jobs and growth.
