On Thursday 27 November from 09:00 to 10:30 am, the Deep-In network and the Institute for Competitiveness (I-Com) are organising a webinar titled: “Innovation, Patents and Europe’s Competitiveness Challenge”.
This policy conversation aims to examine and evaluate EU’s performance in key innovation drivers such as levels of R&D investment, the issuance of technology-related patents and ICT diffusion. The ultimate purpose is to point out the major issues faced by the European industrial sector that are currently hindering innovation and the full achievement of the Draghi report’s objectives.
