One of the most meaningful aspects of being on the EIC Board is the opportunity to shape policies that unlock real potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month, we adopted the EIC Board Statement on Synergies \u2014 a strategic call to action for aligning national and regional funding with the EIC\u2019s deeptech mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a privilege to contribute to this document, which outlines tested, scalable models like:
– ERDF transfers (as Lithuania has pioneered),
– national Seal of Excellence funding (with great progress in Slovakia, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria and Spain),
– and the EIC Plug-In mechanism \u2014 a key to accelerating projects across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As someone working at the intersection of EU policy and regional ecosystems, I see every day how crucial these mechanisms are \u2014 especially for countries and founders that are often overlooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not just about synergy. It\u2019s about unlocking growth where it\u2019s most needed \u2014 and making European innovation truly pan-European. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is about more than funding. It\u2019s about creating a connected innovation Europe \u2014 where local ecosystems and European ambition work in sync. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grateful to my colleagues on the EIC Board \u2014 especially Michaela Krskova<\/a>, \u0160pela Stres<\/a>, Bart De Moor<\/a>, Michiel Scheffer<\/a>, Ewa Kocinska-Lange<\/a> \u2014 for the shared work and vision.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the most meaningful aspects of being on the EIC Board is the opportunity to shape policies that unlock real potential.
