The European Innovation Council (EIC) has published a report on technologies to support breakthrough innovations. The report presents a number of emerging technologies and breakthrough innovations that have been identified during a first identification process conducted in 2021 and assessed to be of high interest to the EIC given their potential for future technological, economic and social impacts. It relies on a range of inputs and the views and insights of EIC Programme Managers.
The identification exercise was the first to be conducted following the launch of the EIC in March 2021 and led to identification of a series of areas that have been grouped into three broad categories, corresponding to the main objectives of EU policy, namely ‘Green Deal’, ‘Health’ and ‘Digital & Industry’.
