#DoBEttR26: Jointly Innovating for Defense and Resilience
Date: May 13h
Location: 3EALITY at the High Tech Campus

(If you're in the military and want the shortest deepest dive into the innovation ecosystem at the High Tech Campus: register!)
The world continues to change. Fast. The drive for Europe to strategically increase its autonomy is being provided with more means than ever before.
Two years ago we realized that innovation starts with pioneers and leaders in their ecosystems, their cities, on their campuses, in their offices or their homes. As a matter of fact, our innovation ecosystem in Brainport Eindhoven is known for its enormous potential. We can bring our powers of innovation to the rescue. For Defense. Also for society: for 'weerbaarheid' and self-reliance.
This is the second event of the community of Brainport Eindhoven to the rescue (BEttR). A bottom-up initiative with the startup community and innovative SMEs. Supported by Gerard & Anton, collaboration with the TU/e and several other organizations.
Does your innovative solution have a dual use potential? Do you want to join a breakout session with fellow innovators and entepreneurs, together with subsidy partners, to kick start a collaboration?
Join. Because together we #DoBEttR.
Putting our innovations to work for the defense of Europe may not be the easiest challenge... (But when did we ever choose for easy challenges?) Some of us have already experienced that being invited by the military to share knowledge and insights does not necessarily lead to projects. Yet obviously our Triple and Multiple Helix in Brainport very much starts with sharing.
Sharing can lead to good ideas. Sharing good ideas leads to trust and relationships. Trusting in good relations is key to forming consortia.
Let's start with the sharing part. To make it possible to #DoBEttR! And hopefully contribute to defending Europe.
