Policy cycle
INNOVATION.
Europe lags the rest of the developed world in innovation, entrepreneurship, and its embrace of new technologies. For Europe to compete in a world dominated by larger, more resourceful players, it must rekindle its spirit of innovation and assume leadership in the digital and space age. The 89 Initiative Innovation programmes seek to contribute to this conversation.
