Budapest, 28 March 2023<\/strong> \u2013 The European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT)<\/a> has received pledges from JA Europe, Intel Corporation, Abodoo, Generation, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Generation, Computer Vision Center Barcelona, and Tampere University of Applied Sciences who will partner up as part of the Deep Tech Talent Initiative<\/a> to train over 500 000 Europeans.<\/p>\n

These new pledgers join the 3 400 EIT partners within our Community to support the development of more trainings and courses that will fast-track the careers of deep tech learners. The ambition to train one million Europeans in deep tech by 2025 is a critical step for Europe\u2019s to solve societal challenges and stay competitive in technologies with high innovation potential.<\/p>\n

Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth<\/strong> said: “As a flagship of our New European Innovation Agenda, the EIT\u2019s Deep Tech Talent Initiative will help put Europe at the forefront of developing the technology needed for essential elements of the green and digital transitions. The progress made in only a few months proves that the EIT is the perfect vehicle for developing the best talent development programmes, in large part because of its ability to mobilise its unmatched network of partners across Europe and beyond.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Abodoo, Generation, Intel Corporation, JA Europe, Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Computer Vision Center Barcelona, and Technical University of Cluj-Napoca will join the EIT\u2019s Deep Tech Talent Initiative \u2013 implemented by EIT Manufacturing<\/a> \u2013 to offer courses and to contribute to the development of trainings that will fast-track the careers of deep tech learners. The first pledgers reflect the diversity of organisations joining the Deep Tech Talent Initiative: a combination of training providers, financial backers, enterprises, and non-profit and public sector partners who will work together to equip learners with cutting edge tech knowledge and the savvy to bring that knowledge to the market. Programmes will be available to a wide range of learners from those still in secondary school to those in higher education to those seeking further professional development. The EIT and its partners will also work to level the playing field for groups that are disadvantaged in the worlds of tech and business, particularly women and girls.<\/p>\n

Nektarios Tavernarakis, Chair of the EIT Governing Board<\/strong> added: “The EIT Community has once again shown its incredible capacity to break down silos and forge new partnerships! That\u2019s the strength of our unique model, which unites innovators who want to play a part in a more sustainable future. The EIT and our new partners both share a vision where deep tech like AI \u2013 which is changing the world as we speak \u2013 is developed and used first and foremost to help humanity with challenges like climate change, sustainable food production, and health crises. I look forward to working together with our new pledgers to develop the talent that will carry out this vision.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This first wave of pledgers alone will train hundreds of thousands of learners by 2025. JA Europe<\/strong>, Europe’s largest provider of education programmes for entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy will train 390 000 learners by 2025 under the Deep Tech Talent Initiative. Generation<\/strong> will help break down barriers to people from underrepresented backgrounds and provide their experience increasing learners\u2019 socioeconomic mobility. Intel Corporation<\/strong> will contribute tried-and-true training programmes, including its Digital Readiness Programs which prepare learners for the onset of AI technology. Learning providers such as the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca<\/strong> \u2013 the Initiative\u2019s very first pledger \u2013 will also bring their expertise in AI to the initiative, especially in biomedical engineering and energy.<\/p>\n

Salvatore Nigro, CEO of JA Europe<\/strong> commented: \u201cPartnering up with Europe\u2019s largest innovation network is a no-brainer. We are happy to strengthen our partnership with the EIT Community through the Deep Tech Talent Initiative and share our expertise in teaching tech and entrepreneurship. Above all else, we want to ensure our learners a quick entry into the future of European industry. There\u2019s lots of great talent in Europe and the key is to empower as many young people as possible with Deep Tech for their future success. We are glad to see that the European Commission has recognised it and is moving in this direction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

THE DEEP TECH TALENT INITIATIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Deep Tech Talent Initiative by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) will train one million Europeans in deep tech skills and entrepreneurship by 2025. To do so, the EIT will rally its network and new partners to develop trainings and courses in cutting edge fields that will be at the forefront of future industries. The long-term goal is to increase the amount of European innovation being created to fight climate change, create new agrifood systems, build more liveable cities, and more.<\/p>\n

The EIT invites organisations involved or interested in deep tech to join it in shaping and running deep tech education programmes by taking The Pledge<\/a>. The Pledge is open to:<\/p>\n
