“Through EIA we've transformed the careers paths of some of Berkeley's best students and EIA has quickly become one of the cornerstones of Berkeley's venerable entrepreneurship pedagogy.
No program has been more impactful on our students than the EIA Summer Abroad — in the of summer 2018, we had more than 60 Berkeley students participating at EIA.”
The European Innovation Academy is an educational non-profit organisation. Our mission is to educate future entrepreneurs with the world’s most innovative, international and hands-on startup program. We place an emphasis on professional growth and having a genuine startup experience.
Our program mimics the actual process that an entrepreneur would go through, from ideation to launch. It is a fantastic experience for people who are exploring the possibility of launching their own startup.
