Regions delivering innovation: working document of the EU Commission
The European Commission has published a working document "Regions Delivering Innovation through Cohesion Policy", on 28 November 2007.
 
The document provides an analysis of how innovation as a central feature.in the 2007-2013 cohesion policy programmes has increased. Innovation is defined as encompassing four groups of spending categories - research and technological development and innovation (RTDI), entrepreneurship, innovative information and communication technologies (ICT) and human resources.
 
The analysis - also broken down by country - shows for instance that the planned EU investment for innovation in 2007-2013 will be above EUR 85 billion - a sum equivalent to 25% of the total new envelope for the 27 Member States. This value is more than 3 times higher than in 2000-2006.
