European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) to Celebrate Women Entrepreneurs Driving Innovation and Investment in Europe at INNOVEIT Conference
Budapest, Hungary – On November 19, 2024, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) will be hosting the INNOVEIT Conference, a prelude to the global Slush event in Helsinki. The EIT Community, a body of the European Union, invites attendees to celebrate women entrepreneurs and their crucial role in driving Europe’s innovation and investment landscape.
Themed “Pioneering women: driving innovation and investment in Europe,” the conference will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and a pitch session showcasing groundbreaking women-led startups. Industry leaders like Inga Grieger, Katarzyna Piasecki, and Laura Wirsztel will share their insights into the intersection of innovation, investment, and women entrepreneurship. Attendees will also have the exclusive opportunity to gain access to the latest research findings from the study “Women founders in European deep tech startups” by the initiative EIT Supernovas.
The EIT Supernovas Data Room will also be launched at the conference, providing a cutting-edge platform that enhances visibility for women-led startups and scaleups by connecting them with potential investors.
The INNOVEIT Conference is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the future of technology and investment in Europe. It will be followed by the global Slush event on November 20-21, where attendees can learn more about the EIT Community and its initiatives, network with startups, investors, and partners, and meet the three winning startups of this year’s EIT AI Challenge.
The EIT Community, comprised of long-term partnerships known as Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), is dedicated to driving systemic change in Europe and beyond. By harnessing the collective expertise of the KICs, the EIT Community powers innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. The EIT is an EU body and an integral part of Horizon Europe, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
The EIT is also committed to bridging gender gaps in European innovation and entrepreneurship through gender mainstreaming and tailored women entrepreneurship and leadership programs. In 2023, the EIT won the European Union Agency Network (EUAN) Diversity & Inclusion Award for its efforts in promoting gender equality in Europe’s innovation landscape.
Join the EIT Community and be part of making gender-smart innovation happen.
