Beneficiary & submission

EIT Digital is inviting proposals from organisations to design and deliver the SPIN:Rise 2025 preincubation programme. Selected partners will co-invest with us and benefit from contributing to improved entrepreneurial education for researchers. SPIN: Rise 2025 aims to build bridges between academia and industry by equipping researchers with the tools and skills to collaborate effectively, unlock the commercial potential of their research, and foster impactful partnerships with industry.
