Innocate is to contribute to policy learning as regards the use of innovation policy indicators.
Present EU policies do, for very sound reasons, underline the importance of innovation as a key determinant of economic growth. However, European policy makers have had a tendency to focus on research and development and presence of R&D intensive industries as the main source of innovation - hence the Lisbon agenda in general and the Barcelona goals more specifically of R&D investments reaching 3 percent of GDP by 2010. Underlying the Lisbon agenda’s prioritization of innovation and research is a set of key structural indicators to provide diagnostic and benchmarking measures of member state performance in these areas.
