Visionary Analytics’ Post

4FRONT together with European Future Innovation System (EFIS) Centre and Visionary Analytics are conducting a study to assess the role of experimentation spaces, such as regulatory sandboxes, living labs, and testbeds in the development and market uptake of emerging technologies. The study looks at how innovative regulatory practices can enhance the growth and market uptake of new technologies, and what kind of regulatory barriers innovative technology projects face in their development. It focuses on projects supported by the European Innovation Council (EIC). #emergingtech #innovation #experimentation https://lnkd.in/ghVwsq-K

As member states call on the Commission to do more to enable the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and the European Innovation Council (EIC) to combine their efforts, align strategies and avoid duplication, here's how the two institutions collaborate now: https://lnkd.in/dZSUgFeU

📢EARTO - European Association of Research and Technology Organisations former President Antti Vasara and CEO of VTT participates in the panel of the Economic security & Green Deal Industrial plan: what does it mean for research in Europe? at the #IndTech2024 in Namur 🇧🇪: 🔊 " R&I policy is a 🔑 differentiate element and needs to be well integrated to all EU decision making processes. To unleash the EU value for research and innovation we need to advance on EU innovation friendly regulation.

Definitely news of the day in Brussels 📣🇪🇺 #Align #Act #Accelerate 👉🏼Research, technology and innovation to boost European competitiveness Building on 12 recommendations, the independent high-level experts are calling for an increased, more focused and protected budget of the next framework programme for research and innovation - FP10 (2028-2034). According to their analysis, 220 bln 💶investment, including expanded funding for #EuropeanInnovationCouncil, would position Europe as a leader in international R&I collaboration and governance 🥇 Check the full report below 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/eGUtfaim

Pleased to participate in the annual #isaca London Chapter Conference 2024, with facinating insights on Tech Trends & A.I. Specifically, the societal and commercial potential of generative A.I. Along with the challenges, barriers, and learnings that lie ahead. It's clear that 'not having a defined strategy' is no longer a realistic approach to #management and #governance of this innovation. We are at a watershed moment -the future is exciting! #isacalondonchapter #ISACAlondonconf #digitaltrust #networking

In today's dynamic world, fostering #innovation requires flexible regulatory approaches. Regulatory sandboxes, testbeds, and living labs provide crucial tools for collaboration between regulators and innovators. These experimentation spaces provide the opportunity for innovators to test new ideas and regulators to develop innovative legislation to regulate breakthrough technologies. As such, they provide high potential for #EIC beneficiaries to develop and scale up their disruptive innovations that challenge existing legislative frameworks. As part of our ongoing study for European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) on Innovative Regulatory Practices in Legislation around Emerging Technologies, Fabian Landes from 4FRONT had interesting discussions with many EIC stakeholders & beneficiaries on regulatory challenges in EIC funded projects. #RIWeek2024 #EICSummit24 👉 Stay tuned for the first results of our study! #emergingtech #experimentation #researchandinnovation

The European Commission's report on emerging technologies and disruptive technologies Growing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity today present major challenges in policymaking. Anticipatory thinking and foresight are of utmost importance to help explore trends, risks and emerging issues, and their potential implications and opportunities in order to draw useful insights for strategic planning, policymaking and preparedness. This report is a part of the project ‘Anticipation and monitoring of emerging technologies and disruptive innovation’ (ANTICIPINNOV), a collaboration between the European Commission Joint Research Centre and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). The findings include a set of 106 signals and trends on #emergingtechnologies and #disruptive #innovations across several areas of application. It is based on a review of key reports on technology and innovation signals and trends produced by public and private bodies outside of the EU institutions. Its goal is to strengthen the EIC’s strategic intelligence capacity through the use and development of anticipatory approaches that will - among other goals – support prioritisation in innovation #funding.

The FUTURINNOV project supports the European Innovation Council (EIC) in building strategic intelligence capacity through foresight and other anticipatory approaches. This is  done through activities to identify funding priorities, inform programme design, contribute to policy feedback, and develop institutional governance. The main objectives are to: • Provide short and medium-term future-oriented evidence-based advice on signals and trends of emerging technologies, breakthrough innovation, and investment patterns; • Support the development of long-term EIC strategic intelligence, grounded in anticipatory, collective, and hybrid methods, towards knowledge transfer and capacity building; and • Explore innovative anticipatory thinking and future-oriented methodologies to support EIC in its mission as a funding body and a knowledge- provider for policy design and implementation. Eyes on the Future: Volume 1 Eyes on the Future - Signals from recent reports on emerging technologies and breakthrough innovations to support European Innovation Council strategic intelligence - Volume 1 The report provides a literature review of publications authored by numerous external organisations. It summarises 34 signals and trends of emerging technologies and breakthrough innovations across the 11 primary categories of a taxonomy defined by the European Innovation Council (EIC). The authors investigate not only what is deemed most novel in multiple application domains but what is worth the attention of European Union (EU) policy audiences involved with priority-setting and decision-making.    The literature review  (1) reviews and evaluates 186 reports and articles on emerging technologies, (2) captures 489 signals, of which 86 have been short-listed and 34 selected for this report, (3) creates an internal database of signals which is used to digest and analyse the evolution of signals and novel technologies  (4) connects signals with EIC portfolios and other European Commission (EC) initiatives such as policies surrounding critical technologies and Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) investments that, together with the primary and secondary levels of the EIC taxonomy, provide multiple types of analysis and insights  (5) draws conclusions that aim to support the EIC’s funding prioritisation and additionally, provide reflections on EIC portfolio setting. #FUTURINNOV #CompetenceCentreonForesight #Futurinnov #EuropeanInnovation #StrategicIntelligence #EmergingTechnologies #BreakthroughInnovation #EIC #InnovationCouncil #FutureTrends #PolicyDesign #KnowledgeTransfer #CapacityBuilding #AnticipatoryThinking #InvestmentPatterns #TechnologySignals #ResearchAndInnovation #FutureMethodologies #InnovationEcosystem #EU #EUPolicy #LongTermStrategy #CollectiveIntelligence
