EIT Manufacturing is the leading pan-European community fostering innovation in manufacturing through a unique active ecosystem

EIT Manufacturing is an initiative under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), an EU institution. It is one of the Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) that fosters innovation in manufacturing by bringing together business, education and research in a pan-European partnership.

The mission of EIT Manufacturing is clear: to connect manufacturing players by promoting talent and entrepreneurship to accelerate sustainable innovation in Europe.

EIT Manufacturing brings together a diverse network of leading industrial partners, top academic and research institutions, and innovative startups, scaleups and SMEs.

By tackling the fragmentation often seen in innovation networks, EIT Manufacturing effectively transforms knowledge into value. This ensures that innovations reach the market, industries access the right talent and entrepreneurs can thrive.

EIT Manufacturing seamlessly integrates education, innovation, and business development, maximising impact and driving progress in digital and green transition.

Ultimately, EIT Manufacturing is committed to accelerating innovations that enhance everyday life, support Europe’s ambitious climate goals and prepare the workforce for future challenges.

Partners

EIT Manufacturing brings together a growing network of 170+ top-tier industrial partners, leading academic and research institutions from across the region and innovative startups, scaleups and SMEs.
