EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) The EIT is an EU body that enhances Europe s ability to innovate by nurturing young entrepreneurial talent and supporting new ideas through the Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). The EIT is the first EU initiative bringing together the three sides of the knowledge triangle : business (companies and SMEs), higher education institutions and research centres. Important: no basic science; no R&D in itself The EIT aims to increase the cooperation and integration between higher education, business and research to facilitate the transition from: student to entrepreneur idea to product lab to customer
