InnoNext is a new initiative from the The European Innovation Council (EIC). The goal is to connect deep-tech talents and aspiring innovators with entrepreneurs, startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through Innovation Internships. 

The idea behind these internships is to accelerate product development for businesses, and equip talents with the real-world experience needed to bring innovative ideas to market. By connecting innovative businesses with talents and aspiring innovators, both parties can learn from each other and get to amazing results together. 

Who can apply?

The InnoNext Initiative addresses researchers and innovators who are working at the frontiers of scientific and deep-tech R&D and are ready to move breakthrough technologies from lab to market. 

The InnoNext Initiative also addresses innovative start-ups and SMEs who are willing to access new ideas and insights from the cutting edge of research and accelerate the development of solutions.

Extensive requirements can be found on the website of InnoNext. Visit the website to learn more about these Innovative Internships and to sign up if you are interested.
