Innovation
Enhancing innovation is one of the cornerstones of the Lisbon strategy of turning Europe into the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy by 2010.
Europe can not be strong with high employment in a sustainable environment if we do not ensure high level research and innovation environments peopled with top class researchers and innovators, and supported by dynamic businesses with access to appropriate funds.
European Chambers of Commerce and Industry play an important role in entrepreneurial innovation, promoting a strategic interaction between academia and industry and commerce. With a network of over 1.800 local and regional Chambers in Europe, the support actions of Chambers vary when it comes to linking innovation and businesses.
