INL hosts the new event on EIT Strategy to power Europe’s largest innovation network
INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory is hosting an event on 14 June 2021 to mark the launch of the EIT’s new strategy as part of Horizon Europe together with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), in collaboration with the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
This event will have a hybrid format and can be attended either online or in person at the International Iberian Institute of Nanotechnology (INL), in Braga, Portugal.
With an enhanced mandate and a budget of EUR 2.9 billion for 2021 to 2027, the EIT will help drive the recovery of the economy as well as Europe’s green and digital transition for a more sustainable and resilient society.
The new EIT strategy has four main priorities and many new features. It will enable the EIT Community to strengthen its impact, boost its support to higher education and increase its regional development efforts.

Webinar on “Creating ‘win-win-wins’ in an open innovation ecosystem: Lessons from TekDelta”
While PITCCH is the first European-scale open innovation platform, it is not the first of its kind. Founded in 2016, TekDelta is a similar joint initiative for open innovation, aimed at increasing the amount of Dutch high-tech startups and scaleups, striving to create win-win-wins.
TekDelta does this by offering startups access to potential business partners and by managing a startup hub network focusing on markets like industry 4.0, smart mobility and smart living. To that end, TekDelta regularly organizes webinars, knowledge sessions and, most of all, intensive curated matchmaking.
In this webinar, speakers Anita Lieverdink and Jacco Saaman will explain to us how they created a successful open innovation ecosystem, followed by a Q&A. What lessons can PITCCH and You learn from their journey?
