European Innovatión Scoreboard 2022

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 the areas where they need to focus their efforts to boost their innovation performance.

The European Commission publishes the 2022 edition of the European Innovation Scoreboard , which reveals that EU innovation performance has grown by around 10% since 2015. Compared to 2021, innovation performance in 2022 has improved in 19 Member States and decreased in eight. Compared to the EU average, global competitors such as Australia, Canada, the Republic of Korea and the United States continue to have a performance advantage over the EU. However, the EU has closed its performance gap with these nations and has outperformed Japan since 2021.
