The EIT Jumpstarter 2025 is an initiative by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) designed to support early-stage entrepreneurs and innovators in various sectors, including textiles. The programme aims to transform innovative ideas into viable businesses through comprehensive training and mentorship.

Participants will receive mentoring from industry experts, access to a vast network of professionals, and financial support to develop their business models. The programme culminates in a final pitch event where the best teams are awarded additional funding to advance their ventures.

The EIT Jumpstarter is open to individuals and teams from EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries. Applicants should have an innovative idea in the textile sector and be at the pre-incorporation stage.

Applications can be submitted through the EIT Jumpstarter website. The deadline is 2 April 2025, 23:59 (CEST), and further application procedures are outlined on the official page.
