Integrating the three sides of the knowledge triangle to drive entrepreneurial innovation
EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY (EIT)
Facilitating the following transitions:
from idea to product
from lab to market
from student to entrepreneur
in areas of high societal need.
THE EIT’s ENGINE: ITS KNOWLEDGE & INNOVATION COMMUNITIES (KICs)
• Highly integrated, creative, excellence-driven and autonomouslong-term partnerships
• Driven by societal challenges: climate change mitigation and adaptation,future information and communication society and sustainable energy
• Fostering the emergence of entrepreneurs
Internationally distributed innovation hubs working across borders.

Climate-KIC Innovation and Pathfinder projects
Innovations projects
Objective: Develop and bring to market products and services that impact existing or create new value chains
Typical outputs: Products, services, prototypes built, demonstration sites equipped
Typical duration and size: Larger projects of 1-3 years.
Lead: Different co-location centres
Pathfinder projects:
Objective: Assess market opportunities and related innovation challenges as well as potentials for scaling up
Typical outputs: Market analyses, benchmarking methods, recommendations on / implementation of best practices and policies to remove barriers
Typical duration and size: Smaller projects up to 1 year
Opportunities for Post-docs Participation in Innovation projects
Intensive climate innovation school “the journey”-explore the potential for launching start-up business ventures, support from Climate-KIC business coaches, business plan writing and presentation, access to network of international fellow innovators
Incubation programme- support for developing ideas for bidding for funds
Entrepreneurship Masterclasses - learn from world leaders in business creation
Venture competitions - pitch business ideas for support
EIT ICT Labs - Catalysing Research To generate knowledge that leads to new innovative products, services, and to the generation of patents by applying a number of Research Catalysts:
Experience & Living Labs - researchers and engineers test and modify products in close collaboration with end-users in a real-life or a real-as-life setting
Mobility Program - international and interdisciplinary mobility of researchers and engineers and foster research collaboration between academia and industry
Testbeds & Simulation Tools - develop a common culture of experimentation in research and foster their take-up into innovation applications and services development of common test-beds, testing platform and simulation tools
EIT ICT Labs - Catalysing BusinessTo transform research results into marketable innovationFoster innovation on both the entrepreneurial and the industrial path Entrepreneurs with a business idea within EIT ICT Labs focus areas can be supported to bring their idea to life
