What a day! 💚 EIT Alumni CONNECT 2025 brought together innovators from across Europe, all united under this year’s theme: The Missing Piece. From the opening panel to the breakout sessions, the Career & Collaboration Fair, and all the networking moments in between, CONNECT was full of energy, honesty, and connection. 👇 Here’s what our community had to say: 💬 “Stepping into CONNECT for the first time felt like finding the missing piece I didn’t know I was looking for.” — Helena Konopulli 💬 “CONNECT reminded me how much innovation depends on iteration, reflection, and collaboration.” — Michele Biring-Pani, 💬 "The EIT Alumni Community is full of life and enthusiasm. Boosting cross-community collaboration has enormous potential!" — Annastiina Heiskanen 💬 "A special highlight for me was finally meeting my co-speaker Carolyn Brand in person after five years of collaborating online" — Liana Shvachiy, 💬 "As a fresh graduate of EIT Food, CONNECT was just what I needed to find my missing piece as I navigate my next phase." — Miranda Mamle Kitcher 💬 “The theme ‘The Missing Piece’ really hit home. CONNECT reminded me that magic happens when we step outside our bubbles” — Mohamed H. 💬 "CONNECT 2025 created space for open and honest conversations about women in tech, business, and research." — Olga Vovk Thank you to all speakers, partners, volunteers, and attendees who made this event unforgettable, and to those who keep this community alive all year round. 💚 A special thank you to EIT for its continuous support, to EIT Food for leading this year’s organisation, and to Jeremy Booth and Karina Akopian for their outstanding work in making CONNECT 2025 such a success. 🙌 Did you find your missing piece?
