European Innovation Scoreboard 2009 | PRO INNO Europe® During 2006-2012, the PRO INNO Europe® initiative has been the focal point for innovation policy analysis and policy cooperation in Europe, aimed at learning from the best and contributing to the development of new and better innovation policies in Europe. The ultimate objective was to help European enterprises to innovate better and faster and to optimise and leverage complementarities between the various innovation support measures in Europe, be it at regional, national or European level. To achieve this, PRO INNO Europe® has given a prominent role to national and regional innovation policy and innovation support actors. The initiative comprises 5 building blocks that provide an integrated policy approach to develop new and better innovation policies.

Together they provide analysis, benchmarking and development tools and activities to enhance the performance of innovation policy and support measures and to further cooperation between innovation policy makers across Europe. 1. 4. European Innovation Scoreboard. The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) was an instrument of the European Commission, developed under the Lisbon Strategy to provide a comparative assessment of the innovation performance of EU Member States. As from 2011, the report is replaced by the Innovation Union Scoreboard. History of the EIS[edit] A pilot version of the European Innovation Scoreboard was published in 2000. Full versions have been published every year since 2001. 2007 report[edit] The 2007 EIS shows a continued process of convergence within the EU. Commission Vice President Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry policy said: "The continued improvement in innovation performance across the EU is very encouraging and offers further evidence that the Lisbon process and the broad-based innovation strategy are working.

The EIS provides an annual assessment of innovation performance across the EU and with other leading innovative nations. 2009 report[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Global Innovation Scoreboard | PRO INNO Europe® Thematic papers | PRO INNO Europe® Global Innovation Index 2011.
