EIC Summit 2022 – it’s a wrap!

A message from Jean-David Malo, Director of the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency

"After last year’s EIC Summit, I promised we would come back bigger and better – and we did! With over 1100 participants at our wonderful Tour and Taxis venue in Brussels, more than 90 speakers divided over plenary sessions and workshops and an exhibition showing some of the very best projects and companies we support, the EIC Summit has clearly established itself as the place to be for European deep-tech innovation. The very strong networking activities underline the strength of the EIC community and the importance of meeting each other to do business, find opportunities, or simply to catch up. If you missed something, have a look at the website to find recordings of the sessions or to download pictures.

Next year, we will join forces with the Swedish EU Presidency to organise another great event on 1-2 June 2023 in Stockholm. More information will follow soon. And we’ll be back in March 2024 with the EIC Summit with our mix of discussions on the state of European deep-tech, activities dedicated to our EIC beneficiaries and lots of networking opportunities. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!"
