11/07/25 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 8 July, the European Commission launched a call for evidence and a public consultation on the future European Innovation Act, expected in 2026. A key deliverable of the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy, the European Innovation Act is designed to help bring innovative ideas to market across all sectors, addressing challenges in commercialising research results and strengthening collaboration between industry and academia (see EUROPE 13650/2). It will also aim to create a more innovation-friendly regulatory, policy and investment environment across the EU to give European innovators the tools they need to grow and scale within the EU and compete globally. The call for evidence and the public consultation are open for contributions until Tuesday 30 September. For more information: https://aeur.eu/f/hu6 (AD)
