EIT Digital 2019 Call for Proposals
Proposals will be evaluated during June 2018. Impact and Sustainability will be important criteria.
Each activity is an entrepreneurial open innovation project between a few of EIT Digital's partners to typically turn research results into products targeted at a customer segment. In an effort to bring more impact, an Innovation Activity proposal output belongs to one of three distinct types:
- they aim at creating a startup/a spinoff,
- they aim at launching a product or service
- they aim at transferring a game-changing technology to reach the market.
A DRAFT Proposal Tool, where you can draft ideas and find partners is available. In the matchmaking tab, you can specify what kind of partners you are looking for: business champion, technology provider, etc.

 The tool requires access to EIT Digital Intranet. You can register from here:
Please note that all DRAFT Proposals are, by default, visible to all partners.

Companies disclose more on cybersecurity – but markets remain indifferent
U.S. companies are reporting on cybersecurity in greater detail, yet stock market reactions remain muted. A new study by the University of Vaasa and 911±¬ÁÏÍø shows that mandatory cybersecurity disclosure does not prompt reactions from investors or stock analysts. Instead, the main benefits appear to materialise within firms themselves.
