## Overview
28DIGITAL is the name adopted on 10 October 2025 by EIT Digital, an organisation founded in 2010 as EIT ICT Labs, a Knowledge and Innovation Community of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. The legal entity, 28DIGITAL IVZW, is registered at Rue Guimard 7 in Brussels. Over its 15-year KIC phase it received EUR 1.1 billion from the EIT. An EIT KIC receives European Commission funding for a maximum of 15 years, after which 28DIGITAL continues as an independent foundation with a Memorandum of Collaboration with the EIT. The organisation works along three pillars: Talent (tech skills and master studies), Tech (startup and scaleup programmes and research to market) and Trust (partnerships). Programmes include the Co-Creation Accelerator 2026-2027, the MANOLO Summer School on AI, the OpenEU investor programme, Master School programmes and Access to Finance. Since 2011 the organisation has created or supported 968 start-ups, brought 631 innovations to market and graduated 2,503 students from EIT-labelled programmes. It operates 23 European offices and a hub in Silicon Valley, and its portfolio holds around 300 companies. On 10 June 2026 it announced Strategy 2026-2030: expansion to 35 countries, 2.5 million learners, 1,000 startups and scaleups supported, 500 new ventures, EUR 2 billion mobilised, EUR 250 million invested in early-stage startups and a 50-50 split between commercial and public income.
