European Commission: European #Innovation #Scoreboard The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS). published annually since 2001, provides a comparative assessment of the research and innovation (R&I) performance of EU Member States, neighbouring European countries and selected third countries (global competitors). It helps stakeholders assess areas in which they need to concentrate their efforts to boost innovation performance, considering the national socio-economic context (which is captured by a complementary set of structural indicators to help interpret the results). The EIS results can help reveal which dimensions of national innovation systems are especially weak or strong and thus should be the subject of attention from policymakers. The EIS 2024 is the fourth edition applying the current measurement framework, introduced in 2021, of 32 indicators. The report uses updated data for the period 2017-2024 for all EU Member States and 12 neighbouring European countries, including Moldova for the first time. It also compares the EU’s performance, using a smaller set of 19 indicators, with that of 11 global competitors. Since 2017, the EU’s innovation performance has increased by 10%-points. Most EU Member States have increased their innovation performance since 2017. Although all Member States, except Luxembourg, have experienced an increase in their innovation performance since 2017, the extent to which they have improved varies strongly. On the one hand, Romania, France, Ireland, Slovakia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Germany, Portugal, Austria and Slovenia displayed increases of less than 5%-points over the period 2017-2024. On the other hand, 11 Member States experienced faster performance growth than the EU over the same period, with Cyprus and Estonia displaying the most notable improvements (+39%-points and +27%-points respectively). Compared to 2022-2023, the EU’s innovation performance is growing at a similar pace The EU’s annual innovation performance has improved at a rate of 0.6%-points from 2023 to 2024 as was the case from 2022 to 2023. Innovation performance increased in 15 Member States, with Lithuania, Poland and Cyprus recording an increase of more than 3%, and declined in 11 Member States. Croatia remained stable. The innovation divide persists, despite a slight decrease in the disparities in innovation performance across Europe.

The OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation invites you to a special webinar to showcase the co-creation process of the digital version of the OECD Innovation Playbook and give a first glimpse into its functionalities. The event will convene delegates from around the world to provide: - Firsthand experience from countries in applying the Innovation Playbook to drive public sector innovation - Sneak peak on the upcoming digital Innovation Playbook version to enhance accessibility, usability and uptake About the Innovation Playbook: To support the implementation of the Declaration, OPSI co-created the Innovation Playbook, a three-step actionable instrument for public officials and managers to put the Declaration’s innovation principles into practice. It provides a roadmap with practical guidance on how to concretely apply the principles to solve local, national and global challenges. Join us to learn about new tools, methods and cases to inspire action. #innovation #publicsector #playbook Maria Pettersson Hanna Sandström Ulrika Lundin Sara Tunheden Danerlöv Klas Dr. Klas Palm Leif Denti Jonny Ivarsson Paulsson Anna Löfgren Wilteus Martin Sparr Kristin Lilieqvist Ingrid Kihlander Carl Heath Tomas Edman Kalle Pettersson Kajsa Westling Anders Printz Johan Quist Johanna Tysk Susanne Fornander (fd.

eParliament November 10 is the Digitalization Day in our country for the second year, underscoring the importance of innovation. For me, digital transformation is more than just a professional task. For the second year, I have been involved in this process as a part of working groups, which are focused on improving business processes, developing the e-Parliament, and implementing AI. Along the way, I have met incredible people inspired by the idea of changing the world for the better. Implementing changes always encounters resistance and demands resilience, as novelty often provokes mistrust. Nevertheless, people continue to work and believe in their ideas, even when told that their efforts are impossible. Those who adapt legislation and regulations to support innovation deserve special recognition. Digitalization spans all sectors, and making changes requires not only deep expertise but also a thoughtful approach to each industry where innovations are introduced. This is industrious work that demands persistence to ensure each step of the transformation is understood and accepted. We are proud that our country is among the leaders in digitalization. According to the UN E-Government Survey 2024, the country has risen to 24th place in the e-government ranking. The Parliament has also achieved significant progress: this year, for the first time, we entered the World e-Parliament Report 2024 (publishes from 2008), In the digital maturity ranking of this Report Mazhilis ranked 40th among 115 chambers and on 13th place in Parliamentary support, ahead of many parliaments of the developed countries. These achievements were made possible through teamwork, effective management, and support from the Digital Ministry. They reflect the dedication of many people—those who developed the Concept, engineered processes, participated in focus groups and discussions, and who continue to make valuable contributions. Today’s achievements are especially meaningful in light of the President’s directive to strengthen digitalization and develop the e-Parliament. Wishing success, energy, and good health to everyone working on these changes. Thank you! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Avinash Bikha and Innovation Centre at IPU for their continuous support and guidance in our participation in the World e-Parliament Report research. Your team is doing remarkable work to make parliaments more innovative and digital. #digitalisation #eParliament #innovation #changemanagement #organisationaldevelopment #digitaltransformation
