We welcome the upcoming EU Innovation Act! The EIT fully supports the European Commission’s work on the EU Innovation Act – this is a timely step to boost Europe’s innovation power and global competitiveness. Following the public consultation, we’ve shared key ideas for a more connected and inclusive innovation landscape, including: 🔵 Make scaling easier – simpler rules, regulatory sandboxes, and a “Single Market passport” for proven innovations. 🔵 Unlock finance for intangibles – better ways to value IP, data, and skills so startups can grow faster. 🔵 Use public procurement for innovation – turn public spending into a launchpad for new technologies. 🔵 Support all regions – spread innovation opportunities through for example the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS). With over a decade of experience and thousands of innovators supported, the EIT Community stands ready to help Europe turn great ideas into global impact. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d3wGBp3e #EITCommunity #HorizonEurope #EUInnovationAct #MakingInnovationHappen

🔬 Innovation begins with discovery. We have contributed our institutional perspective to the EU policy discussions on the future of research and innovation, aligning with the goals of the proposed EU Innovation Act. 🗣️ Our core message is clear: Excellent fundamental research is the indispensable cornerstone of European competitiveness and long-term societal impact. 👉 This requires a significant increase in budget, stronger integration of basic science across all funding pillars, and enhanced flexibility to drive transformative innovation. We look forward to seeing these priorities reflected in the upcoming policies and instruments. #FundamentalResearch #InnovationAct

📢 New £20million funding boost for science and tech in Glasgow Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has announced that Glasgow City Region will receive the additional funding through the Local Innovation Partnerships Fund (LIPF), having previously been allocated £30m. 💬 “Glasgow is continually building its reputation as a hub of innovation, and this additional investment is hugely welcome and a powerful endorsement of Glasgow City Region’s proven ability to deliver impact at scale. “We have the track record, infrastructure, and expertise to turn this funding into inclusive economic growth aligned with UK and Scottish Government priorities. This additional support will help us go even further in delivering against those shared ambitions.” https://lnkd.in/e49rnDM4 Scotland Office #localinnovation #innovation #investment #science #tech

In my last piece, I argued that Canada needs to focus on building complete homes and communities, not just houses. My new op-ed in The Hill Times continues this line of thinking, applying the public purpose lens to innovation. For too long, we’ve had a similar problem: our governments have focused on subsidizing technology creation by a few firms, rather than promoting the widespread adoption of technology by all firms. This narrow focus is a key reason we have a productivity problem. True innovation, as defined by the OECD, is about use and implementation. If a small business in our massive service sector adopts a new tool that improves its performance, that is an innovation. Since public money is being used, the effectiveness of our innovation policy must be measured by the public benefits it provides to citizens. It’s time to pivot. I invited you to read “Innovation for a public purpose” and let me know your thoughts.

🚀 A pivotal moment for European innovation The European Innovation Council (EIC) Board has just released its statement on the Commission’s FP10 proposal - and the message is clear: Europe is doubling down on innovation. 💡 The Board welcomes the Commission’s strong commitment to a standalone innovation pillar centred around the EIC, with a proposed 3.5× budget increase - a powerful signal at a time when negotiations on FP10 are underway. 🔗 This vision keeps the EIC’s independence intact, reinforces the full innovation journey from research to scale-up, and strengthens Europe’s ability to turn breakthrough ideas into global impact. ⚙️ Yet, as the statement highlights, some key details remain to be defined -particularly around: • Reflows to the EIC Fund • The ARPA-like Challenge model • Synergies with the ERC and Pillar 2 🌍 For countries like Bulgaria, where innovators are increasingly active in deep tech and emerging sectors, a stronger, better-resourced EIC could open new pathways to scale European excellence from every corner of the continent.

Greater Manchester, West Midlands and the Glasgow City region have been awarded an extra £20m each by the UK government to accelerate the science and tech-focused efforts of the regions. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall made the funding announcement ahead of the Regional Investment Summit in Birmingham later this week. #UKtech https://lnkd.in/edmF4Fpa

Glasgow City Region, Greater Manchester, and the West Midlands will each receive a £20 million cash boost for new science and tech initiatives under government plans to kickstart local innovation for UK regions. https://buff.ly/68Uk0eL #tech #Glasgow #UKinnovation

Previous observations have been confirmed that the European Commission's internal organisational structure suffers from coordination failures and information fragmentation between different Directorates-General (DGs). This institutional fragmentation is a direct barrier to the knowledge spillovers required by Romer's Endogenous Growth Theory, which are key to technology diffusion. Our proposed Interoperable R&I Resource Bank Format™ is a technical and institutional response to this problem. It offers an interoperable digital backbone (based on the EIRA architecture) that enforces coordination and enables information to flow seamlessly between the various pillars of FP10, ensuring the efficient utilisation of R&I investment.
