The headquarters of EAI is located in Ghent, Belgium. Other offices are located in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, Shanghai, China, and Boston, United States.[10] The office in Bratislava was created in cooperation with the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava by signing a Memorandum of Understanding.[11]

The organisation was founded by professor Imrich Chlamtac in 2010 and currently EAI has over 150.000 subscribers globally.[12]

The company organizes events and conferences and provides support for the members, trying to improve the rate at which innovations reach the market.

gollark: Oh, and a user-replaceable battery so that you can explode it multiple times.
gollark: Don't forget a laser on the PineTime Pro.
gollark: Better idea: you type Morse code for 0s and 1s using a button in the corner of the screen, and that's converted into ASCII characters.
gollark: I don't think typing Morse code into a watch without actually looking at the options onscreen is much easier.
gollark: That's ridiculous. It would be much more convenient to include a full 105-key onscreen keyboard for navigation.
