Founded in 2026, EIT Water has eight regional hubs across Europe and a mandate to deliver systemic innovation from source to sea. EIT Water is now establishing the governance structures that will guide its first Strategic Agenda and long-term impact.
EIT Water is seeking entrepreneurial, commercially minded Regional Hub Managers to strengthen its presence and impact across eight European regions. As Europe's innovation community for water, marine and maritime systems, EIT Water brings together industry, researchers, educators, entrepreneurs and policymakers to address critical challenges, from water scarcity and flooding to pollution and ecosystem degradation.
Each Regional Hub Manager will serve as EIT Water's senior regional representative, building trusted relationships, mobilising local ecosystems and connecting regional stakeholders to a pan-European network of innovation, education and business creation opportunities. The role will focus on identifying new partnerships, engaging Members and participants, and translating regional strengths and priorities into impactful collaboration, innovation and sustainable business growth.
