Map of Europe with Innovation Leader highlighted

Eager to boost your innovation performance in Brussels? The annual European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) provides a comparative assessment of the research and innovation performance of EU Member States and selected third countries and the relative strengths and weaknesses of their research and innovation systems. It helps countries assess areas in which they need to concentrate their efforts in order to boost their innovation performance.

The European Innovation Scoreboard is based on 32 indicators grouped under 12 dimensions such as: attractive research systems, firm investment in research and development, and use of information technologies.

This year, Belgium is in the top 5 of Innovation Leaders with a performance of 125.8% of the EU average! Right after Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands and Denmark which is the new top innovator with the best performance in the EU.

Belgium excels in international scientific publications, collaboration between innovative SMEs, attracting foreign doctorate students and supporting business R&D.

On the other hand, Belgium needs to focus its efforts on design applications, environment-related technologies, medium and high-tech good exports, lifelong learning and non-R&D innovation expenditures.
