It’s strange how sometimes two studies, on the same topic, can be published within hours of one another; but with markedly differing conclusions. That was the case last week and the topic was innovation.
When it comes to getting the most out of innovation, Ireland is almost top of the class in Europe. That’s according to the European Commission’s proposed new “Indicator of Innovation Output”, which was published late last week. With a score of 124.8, well above the EU average of 100, the tracker places Ireland third in the table, and suggests we are good at bringing clever new ideas to the market. And as the Commission points out, that means jobs and an improvement in competitiveness.
