A Growth Model for Europe Beyond the Crisis.<\/p>\n
During his speech, Tataj explained the different innovation processes and their development in the United States, China and, above all, Europe.<\/p>\n
“We have the opportunity to reprogram the current ecosystem into a more efficient, productive and fairer system,” he said. “Innovation comes from relationships. We have to engage society and create links between institutions, education and industry,” he said. Tataj also expressed concern about the sustained fall in R&D investment in Spain. “It’s a worrying thing for Europe to think about,” he said.<\/p>\n
The event was chaired by the Secretary of State for Trade, Mar\u00eda Luisa Poncela, who referred to Tataj’s book as “a key contribution to the new growth model based on innovation, knowledge, research and entrepreneurship”.<\/p>\n
The President of Cotec, Cristina Garmendia, spoke at the event to highlight Tataj’s career, not only because of her current role as an advisor on R&D policies in the European Union, but also because she is a collaborator of the World Economic Forum and of different governments, companies and universities. “She is one of the leading architects in the launch and consolidation of the European Innovation Institute, and is now also part of the Cotec 100 expert network, a hundred insights into innovation that will help us better understand the challenges we face as an economy and as a society,” Garmendia said of Tataj<\/p>\n
At the event, the Climate KIC Spain Director had the opportunity to share with Daria Tataj and the audience the success in the creation of the EIT and its KIC model, as shown in the book, as well as the good work that the Climate KIC is doing for innovation in climate action across Europe and beyond, and also as part of the cross-KIC Spain group. Mu\u00f1oz also commented on the good experience of the Climate KIC in Spain, and its successful expansion over the past two years and its transition from a RIC (Regional Implementation Centre) to a national node. Mu\u00f1oz highlighted the effort and success in the integration of public bodies into the Spanish climate change innovation ecosystem and the strategic initiative to create a new innovation centre.<\/p>\n
