K4I Forum Marks 15 Years of Driving European Innovation

The Knowledge4Innovation (K4I) Forum, a prominent non-profit platform in the European Parliament, is marking a significant milestone. Established in 2010, the forum is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, having organized over 500 debates and 15 successful European Innovation Summit events, supported by 40 MEPs.

The K4I Forum's impact is evident in its catalyzation of innovative ideas, particularly around the European Innovation Areas (EIA) Manifesto. This comprehensive document outlines pillars for deep tech opportunities, regulating disruptive technologies, financing new technologies, promoting entrepreneurship, and supporting women innovators. The forum's open call for actionable ideas is helping to shape these focus areas.

The forum's activities primarily take place within the EU institutions, with a strong presence in the European Parliament. It has presented a special edition of its website to European Commissioner for Innovation, Mariya Gabriel, at a ceremony in the European Parliament. The K4I Forum's newsletter ensures subscribers stay updated with the latest innovation news.

The K4I Forum's anniversary celebrations this year follow a decade of significant achievements. With its open, independent approach and wide range of stakeholders, the forum continues to drive innovation and support European Commissioner Mariya Gabriel's vision for the digital decade. As it looks ahead, the K4I Forum is poised to play a crucial role in shaping Europe's innovative future.
