Poster "Territorial patterns of innovation in Europe"
Key messages
1) The variety of innovation patterns explains the failure of a “one size fits all” policy to innovation.
2) The European science-based area is mainly located in Germany, and applied science regions are mainly located in Northern and Central Europe.
3) Regions with a focus on smart technological applications are mostly metropolitan areas in the older EU Member States.
4) Regions with a smart and creative diversification are mainly located in Mediterranean countries, but also in agglomerations within newer EU Member States.
