The European Commission has launched a project to analyse and monitor research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) investments in life sciences biotechnologies, bio-based industries, and advanced manufacturing. The initiative aims to provide insights into the EU's global position in these areas, supporting objectives related to economic security, competitiveness, and the Green Deal.
The project will involve systematic data collection and analysis, creating a comprehensive dashboard to track trends and provide real-time updates. Activities include mapping the geographic and technological distribution of R&D&I efforts, developing indicators for competitiveness and sustainability, and benchmarking the EU's performance against other regions. Results will inform policy initiatives such as ERA technology roadmaps and strategies for economic resilience.
By delivering periodic reports, visualisations, and targeted workshops, the project will provide valuable support for evidence-based policymaking and strategic planning in the EU.
