The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has set up three new EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) Community Hubs in Malta, Montenegro, and Cyprus. The three EIT Community Officers (ECOs) in charge of the new Hubs are dedicated to the RIS mission of bridging the geographic innovation gap between European countries. Malta, Montenegro, and Cyprus fall under the ‘modest’ and ‘emerging’ innovation ecosystem categories defined by the European Innovation Scoreboard. This means that they are eligible for the EIT Community’s RIS activities and with these new Hubs, innovators in these three countries will be more closely connected to these opportunities than ever.
