EIT Jumpstarter 2024

For our Pledgers and the Talents following the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative we would like to draw your attention to the EIT Jumpstarter 2024.

The EIT Jumpstarter is a pre-accelerator programme for innovators in the healthcare, agri-food, raw materials, energy, urban mobility, manufacturing industries and the New European Bauhaus, with support from best-in-class mentors and a chance to win up to €10,000.

The EIT Jumpstarter is ideal for teams looking to build a viable business model around their innovative product or service idea, validate it and if their business idea is proven to be sustainable, jumpstart their business.

It’s a very selective, competitive programme. However, participating in it opens doors towards the European markets, and successful participants will have access to the EIT Community’s Europe-wide network, and be introduced to partners, investors, regulatory bodies and companies that can produce their products, their first buyer or a test site.

Since 2017, the EIT Jumpstarter programme has trained more than 970 start-up teams, and in 2019 EIT Jumpstarter won the Best Association Training Initiative Award of the European Association Awards.
