Many people still think that only start-ups innovate. But today we invite you to take a broader view – innovation is also born where there are local organisations, regional leaders and innovation hubs. EIT Health DRIVE gives such organisations the opportunity to become change-makers in health and life sciences – both locally and internationally.

Who is it for?
Individual organisations or consortia of 2 organisations from the same innovation ecosystem:
With at least 1 year of experience in providing entrepreneurial support or running innovation projects;
representing accelerators, incubators, science parks, technology transfer offices, innovation agencies, hospital innovation centres, etc;
those wishing to develop a comprehensive local capacity building programme in health and life sciences;
the applicant must be a legal entity.

What do you get?
Hands-on training, team-building activities, visits to innovation centres in Europe;
A unique methodology developed with TU Delft University and the EIT Health InnoStars programme;
Joining a strong network of innovators;
Access to up to €25,000 (50% co-funding) and mentoring to implement the developed programme.

Participation fee:
EUR 5,000 – one organisation (2 participants)
EUR 8 000 – Consortium (2 participants)
EIT Health covers the remaining cost of the training (up to EUR 20 000)

Travel and accommodation costs are covered by the participants. Register here.

This is an opportunity for your organisation to become a driver of lasting change in health and life sciences!

When you have an idea or a solution in the health field, but lack the right partners, finding a way to implement and develop it becomes a real challenge. Sometimes it only takes one right person to get an innovation off the ground. The InnoStars Connect programme is designed to do just that. 🌱💬
📌 What the programme offers:
✅ Access to the European Health Innovation Network
✅ Finding partners for projects or consortia
✅ Valuable connections leading to funding and development
Joining the EIT Health community opens up opportunities to build relationships that translate into results.
