[What happens when you bring together 90+ EIC Community members? 🧠✨] That’s exactly what we did at the EIC Partner Day in Brussels on April 1st! The event kicked off with key updates from the EIC and EISMEA, shared by  Stéphane Ouaki 🇺🇦🇪🇺 and Agnieszka Stasiakowska, followed by a workshop facilitated by our EIC ACCESS+ consortium.

What a powerful gathering it was the #EICSummit2025 in Brussels last week! An incredible event filled with energy, bold ideas, and powerful connections—bringing together nearly 1500 attendees, 100 speakers, dozens of EIC projects and initiatives, and some of the most inspiring minds in European innovation. I’m especially grateful to the Ecosystem Partnership Programme and Access+ teams for organising, on behalf of the EIC Business Acceleration Services (BAS), the dedicated networking event on 1 April - “EIC Partners’ Day” - It was a fantastic moment for EIC Partners, EIC Awardees and Stakeholders to come together and explore how we can better support EIC innovators—boost their strengths, accelerate their tech development, and help them take bigger steps from ideas to market, from lab to contracts, and towards long-term business sustainability. Thank you André Barbosa Tedora Aibu Ana Moura Cristina Fernandes Antonio Zangrilli Antonella Vulcano Paul Stefanut Amal El Ghadfa María Cristina Chumacero Hélène Maxwell Marie Capdeville and all your teams for making this networking a success for the EIC BAS 🙌🏻👏🏻 👉🏻https://lnkd.in/eqbJWU8d A heartfelt thank you also to Catherine Frideres Alexandra Romero Pallares Lennaert Jonkers and Neeltje Ramnath-Willems for having brought valuable insights to the discussions on how best to address the needs of our EIC Awardees. Your experience in providing excellent services to our Awardees was truly appreciated! It was a great pleasure to have you on board at our “EIC Summit Partners’ Day” 🤗🙌🏻 The EIC Summit 2025 was also a powerful platform for shaping the future of the EIC and the broader European innovation landscape. We heard inspiring messages from key voices: • Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva, who shared her ambitious vision to expand the EIC and strengthen its impact. • Carlos Moedas former Portuguese Commissioner and the “father of the EIC”, reminded us that “to scale, we need to misbehave”—a call to embrace boldness in innovation. • Enrico Letta emphasized the urgency of creating the EU’s 5th freedom: for knowledge, skills, and innovation—because only together can we truly compete on a global stage. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue building an innovation ecosystem that empowers Europe’s brightest minds 💡 European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) EIC - European Innovation Council Agnieszka Stasiakowska Stéphane Ouaki 🇺🇦🇪🇺
