The Deep Tech Talent Initiative is the European Commission's pioneering programme that will skill 1 million people within European deep tech fields by the end of 2025. The Initiative, deployed by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), will roll out pan-European education programmes to develop and retain a strong deep tech talent pool across all Member States, directly addressing the gap that exists for skilled labour.  At the moment, we have more than 150 partners on board and 111 courses available on our Platform. The Initiative is growing and we've also launched the Deep Tech Radar, the Deep Tech Talent Community, and we've opened the 2024 Call for Proposals to fund the development of new deep tech training programmes. Furthermore, every month we organize drop-in sessions where we give our partners the possibility to network and pitch in front of the others!
