Deadline: 11-Mar-22
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Manufacturing has announced call for proposals aims at identifying, refining and finally selecting the projects that will start, and receive funding.
EIT Manufacturing will put Europe at the centre of a global revolution and boost manufacturing innovation in Europe by connecting people with skills, technologies with markets, and innovators with investors. Technological progress is now exponential, and it is changing the industrial, social and competitive landscape faster than ever before.
The aim is not only to adapt to this revolution, but to lead it. To do so, they need to overcome value network fragmentation and bring stakeholders together. They need to make better use of the knowledge and the strengths to create value and deploy agile mechanisms to accelerate and steer innovation, shaping the future role of manufacturing in the society.
