🚀 From idea to market: 81 startup teams from 23 European countries are taking part in this year’s EIT Jumpstarter Startup Builder Programme

EIT Jumpstarter is a pre-acceleration programme supporting early-stage teams in turning innovative ideas into viable businesses. And this year, we at INVENTO are working with all 81 participating teams. 🌍

Our role is to give them the knowledge, practical support and individual guidance they need to take their ideas further. The programme combines online and in-person workshops with individual mentoring, so teams can apply what they learn directly to their own ideas and business plans. 💡

For us, this is a continuation of our work with EIT Jumpstarter that started back in 2020. This year, we want to use that experience to help each team make meaningful progress and get closer to turning their idea into something ready for the market. 🚀

Want to find out more about this year’s EIT Jumpstarter Startup Builder Programme and what lies ahead for the teams? 👇

🚶 Hodaj za svoj grad. Korak po korak.

Od 16. do 22. rujna, tijekom Europskog tjedna mobilnosti, gradovi diljem Europe sudjeluju u zajedničkom izazovu "Walk for Your City 2026".

Ideja je jednostavna: hodate kao i inače, a vaši se koraci zbrajaju koracima drugih ljudi koji hodaju za isti grad. Na kraju ćemo vidjeti koji su gradovi bili najaktivniji. 👟

Nema posebnih ruta, treninga ni velikih obaveza. Put do posla, šetnja sa psom, odlazak po djecu, večernja šetnja - svaki korak se računa.

📲 Preuzmite aplikaciju Walk15
🏙️ Pridružite se izazovu European Mobility Week 2026
📍 Odaberite svoj grad
🚶 I od 16. do 22. rujna ➡️ hodajte.

Jer održivija mobilnost ne mora uvijek početi velikim promjenama. Ponekad može početi jednostavno, odlukom da danas dio p**a prijeđemo pješice.

👉 Pridružite se izazovu: https://www.walk15.app/en/news/walk-for-your-city-2026

Students of Sveučilište Sjever / University North, well done. 👏

Yesterday, University North hosted a startup competition for their students, and we were part of it. As project partner in the HEI2MARKET Project, we developed a Startup Support & Mentoring Programme to help students prepare for exactly this kind of moment.

And it showed.

The ideas, the presentations, the confidence in that room… It’s clear that entrepreneurial talent in this region is very much alive. It just needs the right support, the right guidance, and a little push.

Our COO Ivana Culjak joined the expert jury alongside HEI2MARKET project partners, and let's just say we left genuinely impressed.

Congratulations to all participants for showing up, being prepared, and being brave enough to put their ideas on the line 🙌
And a special shoutout to the winners for their outstanding ideas and presentations. You earned it. 🏆

Every year, the connections get stronger. The community grows.
And every year, we ask ourselves - how do we top this?

May 26, Zagreb. We're about to find out.
