EIT Community @ Greentech Festival - Online

Ready for green innovation? Join us from 15 to 17 May 2024 when we will focus on visionary ideas and green projects at the Greentech Festival (GTF) in Berlin! Around 20 000 guests, 250 exhibitors and 200 speakers are expected in the traditional halls of Messe Berlin to engage with innovative and green technologies. From federal ministers to DAX board members, from start-up visionaries to consumers, from activists to researchers – the GTF brings together people who want to make a difference.

Kickstart the Greentech Festival with our INNOVEIT conference! Which strategies empower changemakers to develop innovative, sustainable technologies for a greener future? How can different players work together to achieve the net zero goal and which role does the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) play in this?

These and other questions will be answered at our INNOVEIT conference at Wartehalle Berlin on 15 May 2024. We are kicking off the Greentech Festival in Berlin under the theme 'Road to net zero with Europe’s largest innovation ecosystem' and invite you to join us!
