In view of the discrepancy between the need for transnational innovation and the offer of national programmes, the DEFINE project aims to encourage the formulation of a policy response that is more adapted to transnational innovation processes in value-chains. It thus intends to better use the innovation possibilities possibilities of the transnational system, which are currently not fully exploited.
