Event Description

The 7th European Innovation Summit will set the stage for the future of innovation in Europe. Taking place from 7-10 December 2015 in the European Parliament in Brussels, the 4-days event will call for a “Pact for Innovation”. The objective of the “Pact for Innovation” is to develop an ambitious vision of what innovation can do for the EU economy and society. For this purpose, the Summit will unite leading innovation stakeholders from all over Europe, with Members of the European Parliament and the European Commission.

The 7th European Innovation Summit program takes into account key-challenges and opportunities in the field of innovation. In addition to horizontal topics, such as policies and instruments for innovation, the Summit will host a variety of sessions to examine Europe’s grand challenges in the fields of energy, industry, environment, agriculture, bio-economy, health, transport, safety and security, quantum computing, the role of regions and cities, as well as many other hot topics related to innovation.

A special focus of the Summit will be placed upon youth involvement. In order to spark a debate that provides constructive, sustainable and concrete contributions to future EU-policy making, young innovators from all over Europe will actively engage with policy-makers and innovation leaders. In addition, the Summit will serve young innovators as a unique platform to enhance cross-border networking.

Always stay up-to date on the Summit here.
