EIT Digital’s Post

📢 The Draghi Report 2024 underscores the critical steps Europe must take to secure its digital future, and we at EIT Digital are fully aligned with its vision. The report highlights the urgent need to scale deep tech innovation, invest in digital talent, and create a stronger, more unified European digital ecosystem. At EIT Digital, we are already actively addressing these goals by providing opportunities for digital innovators across Europe to start, grow, and scale their deep tech ventures. 'While international investment plays a role, building deeper local capital networks—especially for early-stage start-ups and scale-ups—is crucial to retaining the value of innovation within Europe. By enhancing incentives for angel investors and making European stock markets more attractive for IPOs, we can foster a more dynamic environment for disruptive technologies.' Federico Menna, CEO at EIT Digital on the outlines in the report. Through our pan-European network, we enable startups to access markets, connect with investors, and leverage cross-border collaboration. We are also deeply committed to nurturing entrepreneurial talent through our educational programs and innovation-driven initiatives. As outlined in the Draghi Report, Europe's success in the global digital economy will depend on its ability to foster innovation at scale. Together, we can make Europe the global leader in digital transformation through entrepreneurship, innovation, and talent development. 🚀🌍 Join us in Growing Digital: https://lnkd.in/dn9QGG-k #DraghiReport2024 #DeepTech #Innovation #Startups #DigitalSovereignty #EITDigital #DigitalEurope #FutureOfEurope
