As Europe risks falling behind other innovation poles such as China, the Asian countries and the United States, we came up with the idea of reviewing the existing innovation tax measures. The aim is to find out to what extent these measures are satisfactory, which shortcomings need to be improved and which new rules could be introduced. The conference is part of a research project conducted by the Conference organizers. Our intention is to produce a comprehensive report with recommendations to raise Europe's profile as an innovation hub. More innovation can make an important contribution to healthy economic growth and employment. European policy in this area is crucial to ensuring a better and sustainable future for our countries.

As this is independent and objective research, representatives from science, management, consultancy, industry, the World Intellectual Property Organisation and the European Union have been invited to the conference. To ensure a broad input, experts from many European countries, including Belgium, Germany, Finland, France, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain, will participate in the discussions.

Of course, we would also like to hear your opinion. Your voice counts and we encourage you to participate in the moments of open debate. We would be delighted if you would join us in reflecting on this central issue for the future of the European Union. Please find below the information about our event and feel free to distribute it to people who may be interested. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
