Published on January 20, 2025

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology is honoured to be ranked as the number one best performing investor behind Europe’s fastest-growing startups, in a review published by Sifted at the end of 2024.

Investors were ranked by the number of portfolio companies that feature on the Sifted 250 in the first instance, followed by the average two-year revenue CAGR of those companies. The EIT topped the list, followed by investors including public and private Venture Capital funds, Corporate Venture Capital, public funds, banks, angels and accelerators.

This recognition is shared with the entire EIT Community - Europe's largest innovation ecosystem and our impact-driven Knowledge and Innovation Communities that together have supported over 10 000 startups! 

And the EIT is not slowing down! Alongside the existing Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), which include EIT Urban Mobility, a call has now been launched for consortia to establish a new KIC focusing on Europe's water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems.
