Closing the skills gap in Deep Tech for a sustainable Europe

The EIT and its Innovation Communities are organising the first networking event on the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative, which will take place on 31 May in Stockholm at 7A Posthuset, under the auspices of the Swedish Presidency.

The discussions will focus on the topic of Closing the skills gap in deep tech for a sustainable Europe, bringing together policymakers, companies, educational and research organizations with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and creating new collaborations in the context of the EIT Pledge for Deep Tech Talents, a Pan-European platform of educational partnerships to skill 1 million talents in deep tech by 2025.

The event will feature opinion leaders from the industry and education providers from the Nordics, Pledgers of the Deep Tech Talent Initiative, as well as representatives of the Swedish Presidency, the EIT Governing Board and the European Commission. It will provide ample opportunities for organisations with an interest in deep tech to build new connections and links.

The Deep Tech Talent Initiative is a flagship under the New European Innovation Agenda, the European Commission’s instrument to position Europe at the forefront of the new wave of deep tech innovation. Through the Initiative, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), Europe’s largest innovation ecosystem, will train 1 million people in deep tech areas by 2025.
