The summit brings together startups, scale-ups, researchers, investors, corporate representatives, and policymakers from across Europe, providing a platform for exchanging knowledge, building partnerships, and discussing the future of Europe's innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.een.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780570202279.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Slovakia was represented at the event by the National Contact Points (NCPs) for the EIC Accelerator under the Horizon Europe programme, including our colleagues Peter Szuttor and Ivan Filus, who actively participated in expert discussions on supporting innovation and strengthening the European entrepreneurial ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the key sessions at the EIC Summit focused on the question: How can the EIC Pre-Accelerator programme best support innovators in the Widening countries? The Enterprise Europe Network plays an important role in helping innovators take advantage of these opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.een.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780570202895.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Together with Danielius Stasiulis, Member of the EIC Board, and Helena Igna\u010d\u00e1kov\u00e1 from Shealed, a beneficiary of the EIC Pre-Accelerator programme, our colleague Ivan Filus discussed why dedicated support measures for the Widening countries continue to be essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Programmes such as the EIC Pre-Accelerator provide far more than financial support. They serve as a bridge between public funding, private investment, and stronger innovation ecosystems. Connecting local talent with European opportunities remains one of the key challenges\u2014and priorities\u2014for Europe's innovation landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.een.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780570206408.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EIC Summit 2026 once again demonstrated that the future of European innovation depends not only on identifying excellent projects, but also on creating the conditions that enable them to scale successfully, collaborate internationally, and gain access to investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested in learning more about the EIC Pre-Accelerator and the support available through the Enterprise Europe Network?
