- A new AU-EU Innovation Interface, part of the EU Innovation Talent Platform. The AU-EU Innovation Interface will bring information on initiatives, resources and opportunities addressed to innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers and investors, generated as part of the implementation of the joint AU-EU Innovation Agenda. By doing so, the Interface aims to connect R&I Stakeholders and ecosystems at the interface between Africa and Europe and therefore bring value to the impact of the Innovation Agenda. We will rely on this platform also to advertise the biannual virtual workshops that will take place in continuity with Cape Town’s AU-EU Innovation Festival, starting from the second half of November 2023. This interface will be updated and expanded as we move forward with the implementation of the Agenda: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/euraxess/innovation-talent-platform/au-eu-interface
The European Commission has also published the report of the AU-EU Innovation Agenda Stakeholder Event.
