Lead Market Initiative to Unlock Innovative Markets
added: 2008-01-07
The European Commission is proposing to unlock market potential for innovative goods and services by lifting obstacles hindering innovation in a first batch of six important markets: eHealth, protective textiles, sustainable construction, recycling, bio-based products and renewable energies. These markets with high economic and societal value represent an annual turnover of more than € 120 billion and 1.9 million jobs in the EU. With this initiative they may increase to over € 300 billion and over 3 million jobs in the EU in 2020.
