As mentioned in this news item of last week, EIT manufacturing asbl has filed for liquidation. The European Commission has given an update regarding this procedure, through its subsidiary, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

The view of the European Commission and EIT headquarters is that EIT Manufacturing ASBL is an independent private legal entity, and liabilities towards beneficiaries and third parties rest with that entity. Decisions regarding its future lie with its governing bodies and members, including ensuring sufficient funding for its activities. A liquidator has been appointed on 9 April. 

However, they are particularly mindful of the impact of the current situation on start-ups and other beneficiaries of EIT Manufacturing ASBL. To support beneficiaries, the EIT has published a dedicated statement on its website and established a functional mailbox (beneficiarysupport@eit.europa.eu) to respond to queries.  

Please note that the European Manufacturing Conference in september 2026 has already been fully cancelled.
