[Webinar] Innovation: A key pathway to Europe's green deal and economic security

11.07.2023

In this lecture, EU Ambassador to Japan Jean-Eric Paquet will present the key elements and achievements of the EU innovation policy, including the Innovation Union; the European Innovation Scoreboard and a regional innovation scoreboard; the EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme (currently Horizon Europe), with the emphasis of the European Innovation Council and European Partnerships; the European Institute of Innovation and Technology; and recently adopted initiatives, including a New European Innovation Agenda, the proposals for European Critical Raw Materials Act and the Net-Zero Industry Act.

Innovation policy plays an increasingly important role in the context of economic security, where multilateral collaboration in research and innovation among like-minded partners brings high added value.
In this context, the lecture will also be an opportunity to learn about the EU-Japan collaboration in addressing the common objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, digitalizing our economies, and de-risking supply chains, which, among many other topics, will be on the agenda of the EU and Japan leaders at the 29th EU-Japan Summit, which took place in Brussels on 13 July.
Finally, Ambassador Paquet will present key tools and modalities to boost the EU-Japan collaboration in research and innovation, and in particular, the possibility of associating Japan to Horizon Europe.
