Dear Network, A breeding ground for disruptive innovations. Or at least that’s what Brussels bets on as it tries to open up its fast growing tech market to attract more supporters from outside, advance its innovation ecosystems, and take Europe’s economy to the next level. 4 Weeks ago, the European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth – Mariya Gabriel, introduced the first-ever European Innovation Days to Silicon Valley. The idea – to showcase the diversity of the European innovation ecosystem and attract foreign investors and talent. Commissioner Gabriel was joined by a high-level delegation of over 50 EU corporates, university rectors, mayors of member-states municipalities, investors, and entrepreneurs. Together, they presented opportunities for growth under the New European Innovation Agenda. The New European Innovation Agenda was adopted in July 2022 and it aims to position Europe at the forefront of deeptech innovation. This vision can help Europe develop and bring to the market new technologies to address. Very interesting read and certainly exciting times ahead. Many thanks, Jon #brussels #tech #siliconvalley
