SARA was developed in 2019 as an EIT Digital innovation activity within a consortium of EIT Digital partners: Bright Cape, Forum Virium Helsinki, GIM Robotics from Finland, and Curamatik and the Technische Universität Berlin from Germany.
Bite Sessions are a new format brought to you by EIT Digital and The Beacon, host of EIT Digital's new Satellite in Antwerp, Belgium. The partners joined forces to not only talk but show the true change that companies successfully made with the support of EIT Digital and by collaborating with EIT Digital partners. These companies will inspire, share their tips and tricks, and give you transparency in their process.
The @noon Bite Sessions are online and held until further notice every month at 1 pm.
Join these sessions and maybe you are the next innovation project that partners up with EIT Digital!
