With our partners, our network and our ecosystem, we bring together leading manufacturing actors from industry, academia and research across Europe to make innovation happen. We work through the knowledge triangle that includes Business Creation, Education and Innovation, and put a strategic focus on the Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) – the EIT Community’s outreach scheme to transfer good practices and know-how.
CLC East currently includes nine Member-Partners from five countries in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as three Network Partners and a number of Activity Partners and other associated stakeholders. Interested in joining the CLC East ecosystem? We are constantly expanding our network.
EIT Manufacturing brings together a growing network of top-tier industrial partners, leading academic and research institutions from across the region and innovative startups, scaleups and SMEs.
A key way of transforming knowledge into value is by overcoming the fragmented nature of many innovation networks. In order to ensure that innovations reach the market, industry has the right talent and entrepreneurs can thrive; EIT Manufacturing connects and integrates the areas of education, innovation and business creation.
Ultimately, EIT Manufacturing strives to accelerate faster innovation with the potential to improve everyday life globally, help meet Europe’s ambitious climate goals, and ensure that its workforce is ready for tomorrow’s challenges.
