PRO INNO Europe is a new initiative of Directorate General Enterprise and Industry which aims to become the focal point for innovation policy analysis, learning and development in Europe, with the view to learning from the best and contributing to the development of new and better innovation policies in Europe.
At the conference co-hosted by the Danish National Agency for Enterprise and Construction, Mr. David White, Director for Innovation Policy of the European Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry in the presence of the Danish Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Mr. Helge Sander officially launched the new innovation policy initiative PRO INNO Europe.
PRO INNO Europe combines analysis and benchmarking of national and regional innovation policy performance with support for cooperation of national and regional innovation programmes and incentives for innovation agencies and other innovation stakeholders to implement joint actions.
The initiative aspires to become the main European reference for innovation policy analysis and development throughout Europe and brings together over 200 innovation policy makers and stakeholders from 33 countries.
Many of our members form part of these projects or have close relationships to the partners. Some of the PRO INNO initiatives have already been presented during our conference in Lyon.
A conference on "Innovation and market access through standards" will be held on 26 and 27 March 2007 in the German capital Berlin.
