Description of the call

EIT Health, a Knowledge and Innovation Community of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), is looking for a consortium to deliver the "Beyond the Idea: From Concept to Venture" programme in 2027 and 2028. The programme helps master’s and doctoral students validate early-stage healthcare innovations and develop them into business ventures.

The call is aimed at a consortium comprising one university incubator and one entrepreneurship support provider. Together, they must demonstrate experience in incubation, mentoring, market validation, business development and venture building, as well as a sound understanding of both the academic context and the pathway towards a start-up.
