On April 2, 2025 SPLORO took part in the EIC Summit 2025, the flagship event of the European Innovation Council (EIC), held in Brussels. The Summit brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers to spotlight cutting-edge European innovation and promote cross-border collaboration.

SPLORO played an active role by promoting key initiatives that support women-led innovation, including Women TechEU, the EmpoWomen Programme, and the Open Horizons Project. Alongside these initiatives, SPLORO also promoted the EVOLVE2CARE Open Call, leveraging the event’s visibility to raise awareness among startups aligned with the project’s goals. In preparation for the summit, SPLORO reached out to selected startups — including Neovivum Technologies, BestHealth4U, Biopsense Oy, and CheckPoint Care — to initiate conversations around potential participation in the Open Call.

This dual engagement not only reinforced SPLORO’s commitment to supporting inclusive innovation ecosystems but also positioned EVOLVE2CARE as a forward-looking initiative that welcomes collaboration from mission-driven startups across Europe.
