Sponsorship provides a great means of broadening your competitive edge by improving your company's image, prestige and credibility by supporting events that your target market finds attractive.

Irrespective of the size of the company, a broad spectrum of benefits can be gained by sponsorship aside from enhancing visibility and image, such as: differentiating the company from competitors, helping to develop closer and better relationships with customers, both existing and potential ones, showcasing services and products.  When sponsorships are strategic and well-conceived, they can boost both short-term and long-term sales.

WHY SPONSOR AN EAI SUMMIT?

Europe enjoys a high standard of living, among the highest levels of education, and one of the greatest concentrations of wealth in the developed world. Yet, by any conventional measure, Europe lags far behind other developed countries in 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 and by facilitating communication, engagement and collaboration from the grassroots. From education to business to government, EAI provides a bottom-up, grassroots forum for participants to contribute knowledge, communicate views, and collaborate together to advance their respective innovation initiatives.

True to its guiding vision of being a grassroots driven organisation, EAI cultivates and supports the open knowledge transfer and engagement among its member community.  Through a variety of conventional methods such as conferences, publications and Web 2.0 tools, a vibrant community of content sharing, dissemination and feedback flourishes.

EAI events are time/cost/results effective. They enable amazing networking opportunities with an extremely qualified Innovation community.
