Enhancing innovation growth of Europe

The report "Reflections from New Europe," presented at the recent CEE Innovation Day, outlines critical insights on CEE’s innovation landscape. It emphasizes the region's unique capabilities to enhance its role in the digital economy & policy, particularly as new EU leadership approaches.

It reveals that while the EU has introduced numerous tech regulations, many CEE businesses struggle with compliance due to a lack of clarity. Report also underlines the lack of SMEs representation in the EU’s policy discussions and processes. Experts recommend a regulatory pause to assess existing legislation's impact on Europe’s competitiveness and growth. 

To empower local businesses and to ensure economic growth of this region, the report urges CEE companies to monitor EU policy developments closely and enhance their representation in Brussels. Insights shared during the CEE Innovation Day conference held last week in Warsaw underscore the necessity for a cohesive strategy to bolster innovation and competitiveness across the region.  

Report itself offers a concise overview of the current state of EU technology and innovation policies, as presented by experts participating in the CEE Circle for Innovation. It also includes actionable policy and operational recommendations tailored for policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders across the CEE region and the EU.
