How can start-ups with a good idea and the technology base develop into successful businesses while escaping the ‘valley of death’? EIT Jumpstarter is an example of a pre-accelerator programme that is determined to close the skills gap in the region.
Dóra Marosvölgyi is an EIT Health expert in the field of early-stage start-ups, and she runs and develops one of the flagship European programmes called EIT Jumpstarter.
We are interested in the subject of what you’re working on generally, but also because our organisation runs New Europe 100, which showcases talent from across the region, and we’re always looking for success stories, and the projects and teams behind them that were already fruitful in various ways in the digital age, so it fits well with your programme. What exactly is EIT Jumpstarter?
Dóra Marosvölgyi: EIT Jumpstarter, which I manage, is a pre-accelerator programme of the EU. Basically, our aim with the programme is to close the skills gap in the various emerging regions of Europe, from the Central and Eastern parts to Southern Europe.
