EIT Digital looks for activities for 2020

EIT Digital has launched the construction of the ‘EIT Digital 2020’ activities and accepts submissions until May 3, 2019. EIT Digital 2020 is aimed at entrepreneurial minds planning to launch a digital tech startup or product or to deliver entrepreneurial digital tech education programmes. The EIT Digital work programme 2020 is guided by the EIT Digital Strategic Innovation Agenda 2020-2022, which identifies the five strategic areas of our work programme: Digital Tech, Digital Industry, Digital Cities, Digital Wellbeing and Digital Finance. We consider these to be the key strategic areas to work on for a strong digital Europe. During the period of March 5 to May 3, 2019, EIT Digital solicits proposals for its Innovation Factory and Entrepreneurship Academy. The selection will be finalised by the end of June 2019 and activities are expected to start on January 1, 2020. More information on the call can be found here .
