A selected and diverse group of entrepreneurs associated with the member universities of the EuroTech Universities Alliance will be invited for an informal discussion on how the proposed EIC could best support the work of tough-tech entrepreneurs and thereby support the creation and scaleup of new industries on the European continent. The roundtable will provide a unique opportunity to exchange first hand with policy makers on the detailed benefits of the new instruments and how they could be implemented. The Entrepreneurs will provide insights and views about the proposed instruments. Our hope is that member states alongside the Commission and policy advisors from the political parties in the European Parliament openly will be able to discuss these new instruments.
