EIT Community Booster announces list of 20 companies selected for new Bauhaus venture

From a large pool of 1,029 submitted applications, twenty highly innovative European start-ups and scale-ups were selected to take part in the EIT Community Booster project. Companies will receive support in the form of knowledge about the company's development and financial support, worth €50,000. The EIT Community Booster program was launched by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and its five Knowledge and Innovation Communities to support innovative endeavors that transform the New European Bauhaus.

“We were blown away, not only by the number of applications received – showing the real appetite for business support – but also by the quality of innovations. We think the selected ventures can be true international game-changers and we look forward to working with them to speed up Europe’s movement towards the three key elements of the New European Bauhaus: sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion,” Gioia Ghezzi, Chair of the EIT Governing Board said.
