Fostering Innovation – a Myth or Reality of the EU in 2018
Original language description
During a historic UN Summit in 2015, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDG) was adopted and, along with the one decade Europe 2020 strategy, became a target setting for the current EU. Interestingly, SDG 9 deals with Industry, innovation and infrastructure and calls for the fostering of innovation. The EU translates it into a demand for an increase in R&D while observing the R&D to GDP ratio – Gross domestic expenditure on research and development (GERD) index, the DESI index and European patent application for inventions. But are these goals real, legitimate, effective and efficient? Is fostering innovation a myth or reality in the EU in 2018?A law, economic and IT overview suggests that modern European integration and the single internal market with the expected vigorous and fair competition, employing modern IP, can hardly be imposed from above. The fostering of innovation demands a bottom-up and multi-stakeholder approach and a humble admission that both criteria and targets set by the EU are at least partly futile vis-à-vis the much needed fostering of innovation. Pursuant to Europe 2020, Agenda 2030 and other strong strategic and/or legal documents, the EU takes seriously SDG 9 and hence has taken since 2010 a very strong commitment to support effective and efficient fostering innovation. However the official data provided by the EU, such as the GERD index, DESI index and EPO application and patent numbers show a very different picture. The post-Lisbon EU and its internal signal market desperately need a vigorous and fair competition employing modern IP assets, which are outcomes of effective and efficient fostering innovations.
