2024 European Innovation Score board Released

The scoreboard is constructed using a comprehensive set of indicators that assess various dimensions of innovation. Data is collected from multiple sources, including Eurostat, national statistical offices, and international organizations. The indicators are grouped into four main categories: Framework conditions, Investments, Innovation activities, and Impacts. These categories encompass metrics such as R&D expenditures, human resources in science and technology, public-private co-publications, patent applications, and high-tech employment. By analysing these data points, the EIS provides a detailed evaluation of each country’s innovation performance and potential for growth. 

The scoreboard categorizes Member States into four groups: Innovation Leaders, Strong Innovators, Moderate Innovators, and Emerging Innovators. This classification helps countries identify their strengths and areas needing improvement.  

The interactive tool accompanying the report allows for customized comparisons, enabling stakeholders to visualize country profiles, compare strengths and weaknesses, and explore trends. Overall, the EIS serves as a crucial instrument for policymakers, researchers, and businesses to understand and enhance their innovation ecosystems.
