"Too often, we see rigidity at the top, experimentation at the grassroots, and a weak middle. Innovation agencies should be the bridge—but their structures and practices remain stuck in the past" www.socialeurope.eu/europes-inno... @rainerkattel.bsky.social
Europe's Innovation Agencies Need Radical Reform To Meet Today's Grand Challenges
Innovation agencies in the EU are no longer fit for purpose. A major overhaul of both the concept of innovation and of institutional structures is urgent.
