The Innovation Union was placed at the heart of the Europe 2020 strategy in 2010 with the aim to foster Europe’s capacity to innovate. Innovation is indeed considered essential to preserve and improve Europe’s competitiveness and its ability to create jobs and to tackle societal challenges. Four years after its launch, this staff working document takes stock of how it has been implemented and what first results it has delivered, keeping in mind that the Innovation Union is a ten years long strategy.

The Innovation Union is succeeding in building momentum around innovation, mobilising stakeholders and mainstreaming innovation in key European, national and regional policies. As a comprehensive strategy, the Innovation Union addresses a wide range of elements that impact Europe’s innovation eco-system and is succeeding in changing it. Excellent progress has been made in delivering on each of the Innovation Union building blocks
