Towards the ITU Regional Innovation Forum for Europe: “Accelerating innovation, entrepreneurship and digital transformation — Europe”

​​​​ 

The launch of the ITU Regional Good Practice  Report: “Accelerating innovation, entrepreneurship and digital transformation —Europe"​ was organised virtually on 1 July 2021,  12:00-14:00 CEST. This regional event was organised within the framework of the ITU Regional Initiative for Europe on ICT Centric Innovation Ecosystems.

This launch event aimed to disseminate the research findings about opportunities inherent in accelerating digital transformation in the Europe region. The event was the first step towards the ITU Regional Innovation Forum for Europe taking place from 22-23 September 2021 as part of the ITU Global Innovation Forum. The event participants received an understanding of the critical enablers and linkages needed to foster ICT-centric innovation. This knowledge was amplified by an opportunity to discover the good practices that serve as a basis for strengthening national digital innovation ecosystems all across the Europe region.

The Regional Good Practices Report: Accelerating innovation, entrepreneurship and digital transformation — Europe​ is the first one in a series that focused on good practices from each ITU region.  It  gave an understanding of the state of the Europe region's ICT-centric innovation ecosystem and the region's ICT-centric innovation capacity based on the three engines of growth (technology ecosystem, entrepreneurial ecosystem and innovation ecosystem). It also provided a comparative ranking of the region's ICT-centric innovation ecosystems and identifies good practices from the Europe region that can be used to build sustainable digital innovation ecosystems with ITU's digital innovation framework.The event targeted all interested stakeholders at the Europe region level contributing to building of the ICT centric ecosystems. ​
