The 2008 European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) published on 22 January, 2009, showed the EU making substantial progress in its innovation performance preceding the financial crisis. The relative innovation gap with the US and Japan was reduced, in particular amid strong progress by many new Member States such as Cyprus, Romania and Bulgaria. Across the EU, particular progress was made in human resources and availability of finance for innovation. However, innovative investments by businesses were still relatively weak especially if compared to the US and Japan. In parallel to this report, the 2008 Science, Technology and Competitiveness report provided a more in-depth analysis of trends in public and business R&D, technological performance and progress in implementing the European Research Area. |
