1. CONTEXT
PRO INNO Europe® is an initiative of Directorate General Enterprise and Industry
aiming at innovation policy analysis and cooperation in Europe, with a view to
learning from the best and contributing to the development of new and better
innovation policies in Europe.
Launched in 2006, PRO INNO Europe® has supported closer cooperation between
innovation policy makers at different levels, thus contributing to the creation of a
European Innovation Space. New innovation policy concepts were jointly
developed and tested which helped improve their efficiency and more rapid
implementation throughout Europe. PRO INNO Europe® assists participating
countries and their regions to better invest in innovation, by learning from others
and sharing experience.
With this new phase starting in 2009, PRO INNO Europe® is launching a new set
of initiatives that will focus on specific priority areas, such as clusters, ecoinnovation
and services. The identification and further dissemination of “good
practice” is no longer good enough. To make real progress, participating countries
and regions have to work closer together in search of “better practice” in support of
innovation and to undertake concrete steps to put this into practice. The proposed
actions closely reflect the recommendations of the Communication "Putting
knowledge into practice: A broad-based innovation strategy for the EU"1, notably in
