EIT Digital CEO Willem Jonker and Eric Thelen

In 2020, EIT Digital celebrates its 10th anniversary. Founded in 2010, Europe’s leading innovation community went on a tremendous journey, delivering breakthrough digital innovations to the market and breeding entrepreneurial talent for economic growth and improved quality of life.

To commemorate this happy occasion, EIT Digital invited partners and friends to celebrate – and a broad audience from our community and beyond followed the call! Travel and mobility restrictions meant that our anniversary event had to move online, but that didn’t stop us and our community to ‘Celebrate Innovation’.

During a 1-hour long TV-show like event on 29 October, EIT Digital demonstrated its community’s impressive development in these 10 years, presented the results it achieved and the impact it delivered in response to the needs of a strong digital Europe. And participants discussed the way forward towards a New Digital that is inclusive, fair, and sustainable.

To illustrate our organisation’s journey and to reflect on the way forward, our event featured eminent speakers representing EIT Digital’s vast network of partners, supporters, and stakeholders.
