EC Call for evidence and public consultation on European Innovation Act will close shortly
The European Commission is seeking stakeholders’ feedback on the future European Innovation Act through a dedicated call for evidence and public consultation, both of which were launched on 8 July and will close on 3 October 2025.
As a key deliverable of the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Innovation Act will take the form of a legislative act, aiming to remove barriers that hamper the commercialisation and diffusion of innovations.
The consultations touch upon challenges in commercialising research results, in industry–academia collaboration, in accessing markets (including the private and the public procurement market) and in accessing finance, talent and research and technology infrastructures. They also address other issues, such as how Europe could benefit from wider use of regulatory sandboxes, an innovation stress test to make legislation more innovation-friendly, reduced administrative and regulatory burden, and from raising and better coordinating overall innovation investments across Europe.
