EIT Digital 2019 Call for Proposals
Proposals will be evaluated during June 2018. Impact and Sustainability will be important criteria.
Each activity is an entrepreneurial open innovation project between a few of EIT Digital's partners to typically turn research results into products targeted at a customer segment. In an effort to bring more impact, an Innovation Activity proposal output belongs to one of three distinct types:
- they aim at creating a startup/a spinoff,
- they aim at launching a product or service
- they aim at transferring a game-changing technology to reach the market.
A DRAFT Proposal Tool, where you can draft ideas and find partners is available. In the matchmaking tab, you can specify what kind of partners you are looking for: business champion, technology provider, etc.鈥ㄢ The tool requires access to EIT Digital Intranet. You can register from here:
Please note that all DRAFT Proposals are, by default, visible to all partners.
Brokerage/Face to Face Workshops will be held at EIT Digital HQ in Brussels during March 26-28.
Aalto University will be represented in the Education Action Line sessions (Professional School, Summer School & Master School) by Prof. Petri Vuorimaa (SCI). The Innovation Action Line sessions (Digital Wellbeing, Digital Industry, Digital Infrastructure, Digital Finance and Digital Cities) are NOT yet represented by Aalto.
