External Innovation Think Tank (eITT) Exhibition 2022

Innovation Think Tank (ITT), a part of the Chief Technology Office of Siemens Healthineers, is organizing its annual external exhibition (eITT 2022) on 28 July 2022, at its headquarters in Erlangen, Germany. The event focuses on open innovation, co-creation and disruptive innovations in the area of healthcare. Best practices at our various ITT locations and collaborations along with applicants from other institutions, start-ups and industries will be presented.

Annually, nearly 200 Innovation Think Tank Fellowships* are awarded to participants from various universities and research institutions giving them the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects at ITT locations worldwide. Open innovation projects worked on by the ITT participants and external applicants can be nominated for eITT 2022. In the past years, up to 40 project teams took part in the annual exhibition. The top three teams will be recognized based on an evaluation by the guest jury including senior management of Siemens Healthineers and will be rewarded a total of €5000 prize money.

We also plan to nominate selected projects for publication in our upcoming “Innovation Think Tank Proceedings & Outlook Report (ITT P&O Report)” August 2022 issue.
