How can Europe better prepare its next generation of tech entrepreneurs? What skills are essential in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing global market?
The search for skilled tech talent and entrepreneurial leaders becomes critical as Europe aims to advance in global tech markets. An answer to this challenge comes from the ATTRACT project, which seeks to combine deep-tech innovation with hands-on entrepreneurship training through its educational arm, the ATTRACT Academy.
The ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference concluded successfully, highlighting the remarkable progress of the 36 projects funded under ATTRACT phase 2. Held in Grenoble, France, the event brought together researchers, students, and professors providing a platform for sharing their potential and envisioning future developments.
ATTRACT is an initiative enabling the transition of the technology generated mainly for fundamental research purposes toward industrial and societal applications. It aims to streamline this process by creating an innovation ecosystem that reduces risk through funding and expertise. Furthermore, it also seeks to connect researchers with young innovators and potential investors to maximise the benefits of the new technologies to society.
