NIB pledges to training 1 million Deep Tech talents in Europe by 2025

NIB is happy to announce a new partnership with the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative, a pioneering programme that will skill one million people within European deep tech fields by 2025.

Deep tech innovations – cutting-edge technological solutions combining fields of science and engineering in the physical, biological, and digital spheres – are indispensable in addressing the most pressing global challenges. However, Europe lacks the talent and skilled labour force necessary to properly leverage the new technologies to enable its green and digital transition. The EIT aims to address this gap, in line with the European Commission’s New European Innovation Agenda, by developing a strong deep tech talent pool across Europe.

To address the mission of training one million individuals in deep tech between 2023 and 2025, the EIT has launched 'The Pledge' for Deep Tech Talents, which is a vehicle for partners and sponsors to contribute to the development and delivery of the initiative's courses and training.

The Pledge gathers public and private organisations, industry representatives and champions, academic partners, education providers, and Member States in support of the aim of the initiative.

NIB will conttribute with its knowledge and research capacities in the field of biotechnology.
