Europe INNOVA

Europe INNOVA is an initiative of Directorate General Enterprise and Industry aiming to accelerate innovation processes and thus to facilitate the commercialisation of innovative products and services in Europe.
Launched in 2006, Europe INNOVA was designed to identify and analyse the leverages and barriers to innovation within specific sectors, also to lead to sound and targeted policy measures. The sector-based approach reinforced cooperation between business clusters in Europe through the establishment of networks, i.e. learning platforms for exchanging experiences, information, good practice and knowledge.
In 2009, the second phase of the Europe INNOVA initiative is oriented towards the development and testing of new practical innovation support services for SMEs, notably start-ups, delivered in the field by platforms of partnerships, particularly public-private partnerships, between European innovation professionals in view of their wider application, e.g. by the Enterprise Europe Network. The initiative therefore supports the Lead Market Initiative by invigorating the entrepreneurial innovativeness through a catalysis between supply and improved demand factors, that unleashes the innovation dynamics in the lead market areas.
The new set of actions works around European Innovation Platforms in three high priority policy themes: trans-national cluster co-operation, knowledge-intensive services and eco-innovation. The initiative also covers the promotion of novel concepts for innovation support.
