EIC Ecosystem Partners Day

In the run-up to the EIC Summit 2026, the European Innovation Council (EIC) will once again bring together key actors of the European innovation ecosystem at the EIC Partners’ Day 2026: a dedicated event designed to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange and meaningful connections. Bringing together EIC Partners, EIC-backed innovators and key ecosystem stakeholders, the event will serve as a central meeting point to explore collaboration opportunities. Building on the success of previous editions, this year’s event will place a strong emphasis on interaction and co-creation, with workshops and discussions powered by the EIC Ecosystem Partnership Programme and the EIC ACCESS+ initiative. 

Participants can expect a rich and interactive programme, including: 

• Keynote insights on the EIC’s vision and priorities for 2026.
• Presentations on the EIC Ecosystem Partnership Programme and EIC ACCESS+.
• Panel discussions with EIC Partners and service providers.
• Interactive workshops and working groups addressing real ecosystem challenges.
• Networking opportunities, including a closing reception. 

The event is designed to go beyond traditional presentations, offering participants the opportunity to actively contribute to improving services and collaboration within the EIC ecosystem.
