A Community of Innovators
The European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) was created by a community of innovation leaders from industry, research, government and non-governmental sectors to address Europe’s challenge that the European Union, federal and local governments, public and private industry, researchers and scientists in Europe are engaged in parallel, and not often, in collaboration on technology development and entrepreneurial innovation.

A Mission to Empower Grassroots Innovation
EAI’s mission is to drive innovation in emerging information and communication technology (ICT) enabled areas by decreasing fragmentation between key participants in the innovation cycle, from education to business to government institutions, by providing a bottom-up grass-roots forum for these participants to contribute knowledge, communicate views, and collaborate together with a focus of advancing their respective and Europe’s broader innovation initiatives.
