EIT Community Info Day

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), and its 9 innovation communities, would like to invite you to an inspiring day that will bring you closer to the different opportunities available in Spain and, in particular, in the Basque Country.

Throughout the day, key agents from the innovation sector will share their knowledge and experience, providing practical information on the different opportunities and live projects in each EIT community dedicated to promote innovation and entrepreneurship.

EIT Community Info Day is an excellent opportunity for those looking to broaden their horizons, and make new connections within our European community.

If you are a company, startup or active entity in the innovation ecosystem in any of its sectors, you can not miss this event.
