EIC Summit takeaways
2-3 April, 2025
“Innovation made in Europe” has a ring to it that we like!
It was standing room only at the EIC Summit in Brussels last week where the MIC attended as the beneficiary of the EIC Transition project Galileo, our new wide range flow sensor with clogging detection.
We enjoyed networking meetings, round tables, tech exhibits, panel discussions and a high-profile plenary, all exploring technology and innovation in Europe. We heard about many EIC initiatives and programs available for beneficiaries to guide exploitation and maximise impact, and had the opportunity to engage with so many inspiring innovation leaders.
As we near the end of our 2 year EIC Transition project, we are proud to announce we have hit all our targets to reach a TRL6 technology for our Galileo flow sensor. The journey is well on track and we are solidly focused on our continued path beyond the EIC Transition!
Key takeaways from the EIC Summit for Galileo’s journey beyond our EIC Transition:
The current political and economical context is unprecedented and challenging for the EU, but offers great opportunity to contribute to European impact
The EIC provides a range of funding and business support solutions for European innovations on their tech-to-market journey and beyond:
EIC Acceleration funding, InnoMatch pilot program, tailored Business Acceleration Services, IP Help desk, and more!
European leaders are committed to supporting and championing European innovation and start ups
“Take (calculated) risks, execute, evaluate” on repeat is an unavoidable part of entrepreneurship. There is a need to tell (our) stories to highlight that innovation is not a straight pathway. Everyone has a different story to tell and we can all learn from each other!
Stay tuned for a whole lot of exciting upcoming Galileo performance results, and to see what comes beyond!
