Building an innovative economy in Europe
An analysis of the integration of innovation into the working of European enterprises is available in a new European Commission publication, 'Building an innovative economy in Europe'. The report takes in the findings of 12 studies, which seek to provide a basis for the formulation, monitoring and analysis of innovation policy. They largely conclude that European businesses are rising to the challenges of innovation, but that there is more to do. This is particularly the case if they are to match their competitors in the new e-economy. The Commission hopes that the report will add to the debate on innovation and will also promote innovation in society as a whole.
