Background: The European Institute for innovation and technology (EIT) aims to bridge the gap between innovation and commercialisation. It does so by connecting the three pillars of the knowledge triangle (innovation, business creation and education) through the establishment of Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). Currently, there are 9 different KICs, each forming a network of companies, universities, research centres and other organizations. These communities regularly launch calls for proposals to identify high-potential companies. EIT Health is one of these KICs .
