EARTO | News : EC Publishes 3 Reports on EU Innovation Performance

The European Commission recently published 3 reports on the EU innovation performance:

The European Innovation Scoreboard 2016 which provides a comparative analysis of innovation performance in EU Member States, other European countries, and regional neighbours. It assesses relative strengths and weaknesses of national innovation systems and helps countries identify areas they need to address.

The Regional Innovation Scoreboard, assessing the innovation performance of European regions on a limited number of indicators.

The Innobarometer  which reveals recent trends and attitudes in businesses’ innovation-related activities in the EU countries as well as in Switzerland and the US.
Some of the main findings of these three reports are:
  • Sweden is once more the EU innovation leader.
  • The fastest growing innovators are Latvia, Malta, Lithuania, the Netherlands and the UK.
  • Regional innovative hubs exist also in moderate innovator countries.
  • Overall, the key driver of becoming an innovation leader is to adopt a balanced innovation system which combines an appropriate level of public and private investment, effective innovation partnerships among companies and with academia, as well as a strong educational basis and excellent research.
  • Specialisation in KETs increases regional innovation performance.
