The European Innovation Council (EIC) Partners' Day 2025 brought together 90+ attendees, of which 50+ were EIC Partners, with EIC beneficiaries and other stakeholders making up the rest of the audience. The group engaged in a series of activities dedicated to breaking down the key challenges facing European start-ups, while co-creating innovative and practical solutions. Hosted on 1 April at Covent Garden as a side event to the EIC Summit 2025, the session was co-organised by the EIC Ecosystem Partnership Programme and EIC ACCESS+ initiatives, both part of the EIC’s Business Acceleration Services (BAS).
