Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

The Brainport Eindhoven Region hosted the 7th edition of the European Commission’s Week of Innovative Regions in Europe (WIRE) from 8 to 10 June 2016,. This conference of the Directorate-General Research & Innovation was co-organised by Brainport Development and served as a prime event under the flag of the Dutch EU Presidency in 2016. The WIRE 2016 conference provided a platform for policy makers, national and regional authorities, knowledge institutions and enterprises from all over Europe to have an in-depth discussion on research and innovation practices and challenges throughout the European regions, including possibilities in the current EU funding programmes and those beyond 2020. A particular focus was on extraordinary open innovation practices. In order to create impact, to upscale and aim for global competitiveness, WIRE 2016 intended to increase awareness on the importance and urgent need to build regional innovation ecosystems. The conference was therefore titled: The Power of Regional Innovation Ecosystems.
