EIT Manufacturing enlisted support for its Moonshot Call, an initiative which seeks disruptive solutions that can decarbonise manufacturing, in front of an exclusive audience of forward-thinking executives, entrepreneurs, investors and startups at The Green Accelerator in Davos, Switzerland, on 25 May 2022.

EIT Manufacturing, manufacturing-focused Knowledge and Innovation Community within the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, goes one step further in its commitment to green and sustainable manufacturing. In doing so, EIT Manufacturing has developed a disruptive and breakthrough initiative: Moonshot Call. This ambitious Call is up to the challenge proposed: Decarbonising Manufacturing.

We are embarking on a very ambitious initiative, and we are reaching out to the best partners to join us”.
