Plug and Play Partners with EIT Digital for the Building of Strong European Deep Tech Ecosystems

Plug and Play Tech Center and EIT Digital signed earlier this month a Letter of Intent that outlines the common objectives of the two partners to support the European digital transformation by building new digital ecosystems and promoting digital education and skills, innovation infrastructure, and the creation of high-quality jobs. The collaboration between the two organisations will focus on developing synergies to support the digital transformation and serve the needs of the European digital community.

The collaboration will cover areas such as supporting digital innovation ecosystems and capabilities, community building, supporting inclusiveness and gender balance in digital, innovation for the European digital economy, and other areas identified by common agreement on a case-by-case basis. Plug and Play and EIT Digital intend to support each other by sharing business opportunities, best practices, lessons learned, and results from projects and programmes. Their joint effort includes engaging with stakeholders and digital public service providers, to achieve their main objective.
