Quote from the Activity Leader

I am personally proud to see how many great applications we have received for this competition. In 2021, we could select 24 excellent teams, out of which six teams are newly created start-ups. It is fantastic to see what this financial and in-kind support can create for the EVO-R Teams. I am cheering for all of our teams and do everything to support them further in finding other EIT Manufacturing opportunities!
