Recommendations by a Business Panel on future EU innovation policy Supported by an online debate at http://blogs. ec. europa. eu/innovationunlimited/We propose to base EU action around compelling social challenges
, to fi nance venture and social innovation funds, to incentivise large scale community level innovations, to transform the public sector
and to unlock the potential of new infrastructure and new types of partnerships REINVENT EUROPE THROUGH INNOVATION FROM A KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY TO AN INNOVATION SOCIETY 2 The Business Panel on future EU innovation policy was established by DG Enterprise
http://blogs. ec. europa. eu/innovationunlimited/3 Innovation has been a central EU priority over the last decade.
Information technologies and web 2. 0 tools are transforming how people interact. Open innovation is based on the power of networks and access to knowledge across Europe and globally.
Innovation unlimited at http://blogs. ec. europa. eu/innovationunlimited/./These discussions were an inspiration for us,
especially in the public sector. Information technologies and the future internet provide new tools to achieve this.

it will enable next generation internet, radical new services and business models. It will transform how people work
Information technologies and web 2. 0 tools are transforming how people interact, not withstanding the necessity of physical space and meetings for the exchange of ideas and collaboration.
