Agenda

  • Benchmark Innovation - Set the standards for innovation excellence for people, products and companies

    EAI along with its community of member organizations and indidivual users seeks to define the standards of excellence in innovation. It does this through a comprehensive array of events, online tools, its Innovation Academy Awards Program.

  • Advocate for Innovation - Working from the grassroots to the highest levels of policy making

    EAI engages individuals and companies in active grassroots innovation policy and helps carry that policy with a unified voice to the releavent EU bodies that can affect real change.

    An example of this is EAI's Position Paper Algorithm. The algorithm assigns papers submitted via EAIs online system to get voted on by select members of EAI’s Strategic Forum, then advanced for review and comment to an appropriate Innovation Cycle Working Group, which will then submit the paper for a final vote to the entire EAI Strategic Forum. Papers that are advanced through the algorithm will be presented at EAI’s annual European Forum for Innovation, where ideas can come to life. This process ensures that great ideas get better through community review and input and that the best papers can be translated in to real initiatives to advance innovation in Europe.

  • Foster Engagement for Innovation – EAI launches matchmaking tool

    EAI has developed a unique matchmaking tool called “InnoMatch” which brings ideas from the virtual world to the world of implementation and business reality. EAI does this by providing a platform for engagement, where people with valuable ideas can connect with the critical people who can help bring those ideas to life.
