The EIT Community Supernovas welcomes its 2022 cohort for its Rocket Up programme. This first year’s selection will bring pioneering ideas and business to different markets over Europe as they expand through the continent and become the leaders and role models of the future.

In the coming months, the chosen start-ups will benefit from top business and industry expert advice, tailored training, and face-to-face introductions to potential stakeholders  to internationally expand with a structured and validated entry strategy. The Rocket Up programme also includes access to the respective EIT Community with other investment initiatives and funding instruments.

All start-ups contribute to the goals of EIT Urban Mobility, EIT Food or EIT Manufacturing to have a sustainable impact while innovating and creating economic development. Furthermore, we have paid special attention to the EIT RIS regions – countries with moderate or modest innovation scores as defined by the European Innovation Scoreboard, where we also find lower numbers on female entrepreneurship and leadership.
