“Europe as a Leader in Disruptive Innovation” – Conference

his event is co-organised by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, the Paris-Saclay University, Ministry of the Economy, Finance and the Recovery and the European Commission.

Disruptive innovation is a priority at national and European level, which is notably reflected in the recent creation of the European Innovation Council (EIC). This conference will combine, for the first time, two key events: Paris-Saclay SPRING, a highlight for innovation in France, and the Week of Innovative Regions in Europe (WIRE), which is held each year in one of the countries holding the presidency, with significant involvement of the regions.

The conference will focus on disruptive innovation’s contributions to the recovery and European technological sovereignty and address the implementation of various European and national instruments at the regional and territorial level. It will also present the priority areas and opportunities for the European ecosystem, combining round tables and demonstrations by stakeholders in disruptive innovation.
