The European Alliance for Innovation (hereinafter: EAI) has been established to address Europe’s challenge of sustainable competitiveness, development and growth, through open grassroots innovation.
Recognising that:
- Education and Research are key to the generation of wealth by improving competitiveness of European companies;
- Open Innovation initiatives and actions are essential for the transfer of research results to society;
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are enablers of radical changes in key business sectors influencing the future of European society in general, including health, energy, transport, media, and more;

The EAI vision is that of a federated platform that connects the strategic long-term view combining industry, research, government and non-governmental bodies, with a community of individuals organised and cooperating in a grassroots movement.

According with this vision, the EAI is comprised of two independent and collaborating constituencies:
1. A Strategic Forum (http://european-alliance.eu/strategic-forum) constituted by leading institutions, which will provide a Strategic Innovation Agenda, innovation policies identification and proposition, policy and regulation advocacy and will set priorities to benefit innovation;
2. An EAI Community (http://european-alliance.eu/the-innovation-community) constituted by individuals, actively and directly participating in a collection of innovation building activities, the Innovation Cycle, organised in thematic Science, Innovation and Business Technology Councils (hereinafter: SIBs).

The modes of operation of each constituency and their interactions are regulated by the
EAI Governance Model (http://eai.eu/governance-model/).
