Workshop: "Shaping the Future of EIC Technology Foresight and Horizon Scanning"
- EIC strategic intelligence
Join this hands-on workshop to shape the next steps of EIC technology foresight and horizon scanning by exploring the data, tools, and frameworks that can strengthen future-oriented strategic intelligence at Europe’s largest deep-tech investor. Following a brief introduction to current methodologies and outputs, including the EIC Tech Report 2026, participants will be invited to help EIC think beyond current approaches: What data points are still missing? How can emerging technology signals be detected earlier and more effectively? Which stakeholders should be more closely involved? Investors, innovators, researchers, and policymakers are invited to contribute their perspectives and help future-proof how the EIC identifies and assesses what might come next.
