Innovation isn’t about unicorns - it’s about swarms. Europe’s creatives aren’t scattered: they’re agile, connected, responsive. That’s how we unlock innovation. That’s what ekip builds. Creatives don’t just make things - they make systems move. 👉 ekipengine.eu/the-challenge-…

Europe has plenty of research, funding, and technology. But turning them into impact takes more. It takes people who build trust, translate complexity, and make innovation make sense. That’s where creatives come in. That’s where #ekip begins. #EUInnovation #cci #HorizonEurope
