Expanding the Triangle: Europe × Japan, Innovation Without Borders

Europa House, large room

How can European and Japanese businesses, researchers and universities work together to drive innovation across borders?

This 60-minute panel explores how the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) connects business, research and education – the three pillars of its knowledge triangle – to foster innovation and international collaboration.

Drawing on concrete examples from the EIT community, including successful partnerships between European startups and Japanese companies, the discussion will highlight what EU-Japan cooperation has already achieved and where new opportunities are emerging.

Organised by 28DIGITAL, the session will bring together perspectives from industry, startups, research and academia to explore how these partnerships can grow further. Particular attention will be given to strengthening connections with Japanese universities, creating opportunities for students and talent, and advancing cooperation in the context of the EU-Japan Digital Partnership, the Competitiveness Alliance and Japan's association with Horizon Europe.

Join the discussion to discover successful examples of cross-border innovation, connect with European and Japanese stakeholders, and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
