Welcome to Your New Home for Innovation: The EU.FFICIENT Platform Is Live
August 2025 – The future of innovation and collaboration in Europe takes a major step forward: the EU.FFICIENT Platform is officially live. Designed as a dynamic hub for innovation, collaboration, and growth, the platform brings together facilitators, researchers, and industry leaders from across Europe to accelerate technology transfer and co-creation.
A Platform Built for Innovation and Growth
The EU.FFICIENT Platform provides:
💡 Personalised training and hands-on learning – tailored, practical training experiences designed for specific sectors, helping professionals immediately apply new facilitation techniques.
💡 Exclusive networking opportunities – members can become mentors, find mentorships, and connect with leaders across four focus communities: Advanced Manufacturing, HealthTech, Mobility, and AI/Digital.
💡 Tailored networking tools – an interactive interface featuring newsfeeds, member overviews, groups, and chat functions makes it easy to connect, share, and co-create.
The platform enables innovators to meet sparring and implementation partners online – with the common goal of developing solutions for complex challenges and bringing them to application more quickly. This structured exchange and targeted networking creates added value for everyone involved and supports sustainable technology transfer at the European level.
A Shared Vision Across Europe
Launched in 2024 as an EU project, EU.FFICIENT is backed by 15 international partners from science, business, and the public sector. This strong, diverse consortium shares one mission: to bring people together across borders and disciplines, fostering a Europe-wide community of innovation and knowledge exchange.
The platform is designed especially for “expert facilitators” – professionals who bridge the gap between research and industrial application. These include researchers, technology transfer officers, business development specialists, research managers, and executives across industries and the public sector.
EU.FFICIENT is not just a project – it’s a movement. Innovation thrives where collaboration excels, and we are here to make it seamless, impactful, and game-changing. The future of co-creation starts with us!

Shaping the Future of European Innovation
Open since July 2025, the EU.FFICIENT Platform is available to anyone eager to take an active role in shaping the future of innovation in Europe. With its community-driven approach and powerful networking tools, the platform reduces detours in the innovation process, provides direct access to research and technologies, and accelerates the application of solutions to real-world challenges.
