European Innovation Session Offers Funding and Networks
Amsterdam, Wednesday, 27 August 2025.
An upcoming session will explore opportunities in European innovation programs, crucial for enhancing Dutch innovation and boosting the economy through governmental support.
Event Details
The upcoming information session on European innovation opportunities will take place on a specific date from 10:00 to 13:30 hours. The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), known for bridging innovation with commercialization, is the focal point of this event. Hosted by the national contact points (NCPs) of the Benelux, the session seeks to elevate awareness and engagement among participants by unveiling funding and collaboration prospects through EIT’s Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) [1].
Strategic Relevance in the Netherlands
The event aligns with the Netherlands’ strategic movement to enforce strong support for innovation sectors, which is pivotal in not only advancing the Dutch entrepreneurial ecosystem but also in facilitating substantial contributions to climate change mitigation. The Dutch government has been escalating its support mechanisms to encourage these sectors, as innovation remains a cornerstone of economic resilience and sustainability [1].
Opportunities through EIT
EIT’s structure includes nine distinct Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), each designed to integrate businesses, universities, and research centers within a comprehensive network. These communities regularly trigger calls for proposals aiming to identify and foster promising businesses across Europe. By participating, Dutch innovators gain the chance to benefit from essential resources that address the demands of emergent sectors such as deep tech [1].
Registration and Participation
Participation in the event is complimentary, although prior registration is required before the deadline of 19 September. With attendance capped at 75 participants, a live stream also ensures wider access, accommodating those beyond physical limitations. This session not only offers substantial insights but potentially unlocks diverse opportunities for innovators ready to expand their horizons through EIT’s expansive programs [1].
