EIC Forum publishes Policy Orientations 2023
On 21 December 2023, the EIC published the EIC Forum Policy Orientations 2023, with particular focus on innovation policy, innovation procurement, data, and employees’ stock options.
The EIC Forum's objective is to discuss the development of innovation-friendly regulation, promote the alignment of research and innovation agendas, enhance coordination between national and regional innovation programmes and innovation activities under Horizon Europe, including notably the EIC and the EIT, and to establish a joint communication strategy on innovation in the EU.
The EIC Forum is composed of the EIC Forum Plenary, consisting of high-level designated representatives of national ministries and authorities in charge of innovation, members of the EIC Advisory and EIT Governing Boards, and different Working Groups.
Commissioner Iliana Ivanova, responsible for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education, and Youth, met with the EIC Forum members in Brussels on 21 December 2023. The meeting centred around discussions on the implementation of the New European Innovation Agenda and the policy orientations outlined by the EIC Forum Policy Orientations document for 2023. Commissioner Ivanova expressed appreciation for the efforts of the six working groups throughout 2023 and acknowledged the importance of the initiative, member states and associated countries working together, and strengthening the innovation ecosystem.
