EIT Global Outreach

Acknowledging the importance of international cooperation in tackling global challenges, the EIT and its KICs established together in 2018 the EIT Global Outreach Programme - the first EIT Community coordinated effort at global level. The programme builds on Knowledge Triangle Integration model, linking business, research and education to create relationships and market opportunities in key locations outside Europe. By working together, the EIT KICs develop activities that showcase EIT-supported innovations at international level and create tailor-made support to facilitate the internationalisation efforts of European entrepreneurs and innovators.

The programme also provides a platform for the EIT Community to team up with EU Member States and other EU programmes and initiatives, to achieve greater impact in full alignment with the EU Global Approach in research and innovation. Currently two EIT Hubs exist under the Global Outreach programme, one in Silicon Valley, USA and the other in Tel Aviv, Israel. On 8 February 2022, the EIT presented a brand-new website dedicated to the EIT Global Outreach Programme.
