MOTIVATIONS

The European Regions have very different levels of innovation capacity.

Differences are due to:

• their capacity of strategic view and investments in SMEs;

• their level of relationships with LEs – multinationals and/or

internationalisation levels;

• the connection between applied research centres and enterprises;

• the offer of professionalism and innovative knowledge present in the

different areas

• public policies and investments

UNICE AND THE EU STRATEGY FOR INNOVATION

We believe that enhancing Europe’s technological and non-technological innovation capacity can deliver high value-added European products, processes and services that are competitive in open, constantly changing global markets.”
