Overview• State of the Innovation Union - overall progress
highlighting state of play on the main EU initiatives.
• Country Profiles - analysis of performance of the research and innovation systems of individual Member States.
• Scoreboard - snapshot of performance based on 25 indicators spanning the whole innovation cycle. Allows comparison of relative strengths and weaknesses and performance monitoring. 2

Findings• Positives:
• Total R&D budgets of the 27 EU Member States increased nominally by ca. 8% between 2007 and 2011.
• Business R&D expenditure in the EU also 10% higher in 2011 than before the crisis (2007) in nominal terms.
• Top R&D investing companies headquartered in the EU expect their global R&D investments to grow by an average of 4% annually over the period 2012 to 2014.
• EU R&D intensity grew from 1.85% of GDP before the crisis (2007) to 2.03% of GDP in 2011.

Findings• Warning signs:
• Total R&D investment by EU Member States slowed down in 2010 and decreased in 2011.
• Increasing disparities in performance of Member States and regions - process of convergence in performance has come to a halt for the first time since 2001
• Firms piling up cash reserves and differing research and innovation investments due to low confidence in future prospects of the European economy.

International Comparison
• Innovation leaders, US, Japan and South Korea outperform EU.
• Innovation performance gap with US and Japan has closed since 2008, but performance lead of South Korea has increased.
• EU continues to have a strong performance lead over Australia, Canada and all BRICS countries, but China is catching up.

Not all bleak!
• One of the world best-performers in terms of high quality science and innovative products
• Capture the largest share (28%) of income generated in global manufacturing value chains
• Prime beneficiary of foreign R&D investments by US firms
• Specialised in medium-high tech sectors, but two-thirds of business R&D investment in US clustered in high-tech – e.g. health and ICT. 10

Policy Shift• Concrete actions on European Research Area
• Improved business environment thanks to unitary patent, faster standard setting, modernised EU procurement rules and a European passport for venture capital funds
• European Innovation Partnerships are pooling resources and concentrating demand and supply-side measures on key societal challenges
• Gist of the Commission's proposal for Horizon 2020 accepted.

Implications for Member States
"Invest, Reform, Transform"
•Continue to invest by protecting R&D budgets
•Reforms to improve the efficiency of the national research systems
•European economy must be transformed through a stronger presence in high-tech sectors while maintaining and revitalising current industrial fabric
