Innovation Talent Platform: Point of Entry into the Opportunities Within the European Innovation Ecosystem

The new Innovation Talent Platform under the New European Innovation Agenda has recently been launched. This Platform will assist European companies, particularly start-ups, in attracting talent from outside the European Union (EU), opening new employment opportunities for EU citizens.

At the initial stage, the Platform will offer information about funding opportunities, contact points in several countries, as well as digital tool kit for start-ups to launch businesses in the EU. In the following phase, it will be a matchmaking tool for innovators, entrepreneurs, and all talent across the globe who wish to create, work, and live in Europe.

The tools have been divided into three main categories: funding opportunities, support services and coming to Europe. Other useful tools such as data analytics and intellectual property (IP) toolkit are also available on the Platform.
