EU4Digital ICT Innovation networking events facilitate the establishment of communities and networks in the EaP region. The events build bilateral and multilateral bridges between EaP and EU organisations and stakeholders, enabling deeper knowledge and understanding of relevant EU best practices and their transfer to Eastern partner countries via further joint activities and projects. Therefore, these events target topic-specific audiences, selected from ministerial level representatives and agencies, associations and networks of relevant policy areas, ICT infrastructure organisations and other ICT innovation ecosystem actors.

Phase I (2019-2022) EU4Digital ICT Innovation networking events succeeded in bridging between EaP stakeholders and the following organisations: European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP), European Business Angels Network (EBAN), Business Angels Europe (BAE), European Business & Innovation Centre Network (EBN), European Crowdfunding Network (ECN), European IP Office (EUIPO), European IP Helpdesk, Digital Innovation Hubs Network (DIHNET), I4MS, European Digital SME Alliance and Startup Europe Regions Network (SERN). In Phase II (2022-2025) we have already made bridges with Women Go Tech, WEgate, Women Business Angels, WINGATE, Female founders, International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) and EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum.
