Enterprise & Industry Magazine | Number 9 (2010)

Summary:

This issue of the E&I magazine devotes its main feature to reviewing the European Commission’s plans to transform Europe into an Innovation Union, with the objective of turning ideas into jobs and sustainable growth. It examines the new integrated industrial policy for the globalisation era, and looks at a number of 'star SMEs' which have won awards for making to most of their opportunities in the single market thanks to the support provided by the Enterprise Europe Network.

This edition also explains the meaning of the CE marking and presents the campaign that the European Commission launched to raise awareness of this marking. Finally, the magazine explores how space policy, security research, social tourism and innovative technologies in the forest-based sector can improve the lives of European citizens, while contributing to the competitiveness and sustainability of the European economy.
