| Project description: | TECHSIGHT’s long-term vision is to create a scalable model for deep tech ecosystem development, positioning European HEIs as key drivers of global deep tech leadership. Participation in the project will empower HEIs to establish and lead deep tech innovation districts in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany), Guarda (Portugal), Istanbul (Turkey), Skopje (North Macedonia), Belgrade (Serbia), and Daugavpils (Latvia). TECHSIGHT is a strategic foresight and innovation initiative aimed at positioning European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) at the forefront of sustainable and inclusive deep tech development. Recognizing HEIs as vital hubs within the “knowledge triangle integration” of universities, industry, and government/others, TECHSIGHT enables future European leadership in the deep tech field. Leveraging successful frameworks from previous EIT HEI cohorts, such as the PROMETHEUS project, TECHSIGHT enhances HEIs’ innovation and entrepreneurship capacity-building activities by incorporating future thinking methodologies. This approach utilizes horizon scanning and strategic foresight to anticipate trends, enabling HEIs not only to respond effectively to industry needs but also to become future global leaders. |
