SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES                

The European Innovation Ecosystems work programme aims to create more connected, inclusive and efficient innovation ecosystems that support the scaling of companies and spur innovation to address important challenges in a responsible way.

The work programme contains actions under three (3) destinations: CONNECT, SCALEUP and INNOVSMES.

• The actions in the CONNECT destination focus on building interconnected, inclusive innovation ecosystems across Europe by drawing on the existing strengths of national, regional and local ecosystems and encouraging the involvement of all actors and territories to set, undertake, and achieve collective ambitions towards challenges for the benefit of society, including green, digital, and social transitions and the European Research Area.
• The actions in the SCALEUP destination focus on reinforcing network connectivity within and between innovation ecosystems for sustainable business growth with high societal value.
• The action in the INNOVSMES destination will support the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs, which will help innovative SMEs to increase their research and innovation (R&I) capacity and productivity and successfully embed in global value chains and new markets.
