EIT Alumni Impact Report 2023

With the purpose of establishing a stronger post-pandemic, physical presence for its members in innovative communities, connecting EIT alumni with local I&E ecosystems, strengthening the collaboration with the EIT Co-Location Centres (CLCs), and setting the ground for several monetisation models, the EIT Alumni pursues, in 2023 – 2025, the rollout of several EIT Alumni European Nodes with the potential to scale and develop a global presence in alignment with EIT’s vision.

In 2023, the first EIT Alumni labelled White Papers was launched, entitled “Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Public Good and Social Impact” and with its first edition under the sub-topic “Ensuring and equitable future of healthcare through fit-for-purpose digital health systems”.

Through cross-community events, career development opportunities, and the chance to represent the EIT Community with high-level stakeholders and decision-makers, the EIT Alumni members build and sustain an engaged and active community that offers unique opportunities for its members to connect and form alliances that shape the future of Europe.

With the aim of extending the EIT Alumni Community, EIT Alumni is taking actions to engage talents, professionals, students from similar EIT initiatives such as Girls Go Circular, Deep Tech Talent Initiative and develop an EIT Alumni membership policy to strengthen the value proposition of the Community. The Deep Tech Talent Initiative plays a pivotal role in consolidating the EIT Alumni platform of members, complementing the skills of the Alumni members for the next two years and become a key support element for bilateral outreach. We are looking forward to continuing the work with all EIT Alumni members to further build an impact-oriented, sustainable and future-proofed community!
