A lot of innovation, but few degrees: Italy in the data

The European Innovation Scoreboard is a sort of report card with which for years (it was discussed here with concern already in 2006) the ability to innovate of a country has been photographed, since in this calibrated weighing (to which a long list of varied components contributes ) it is possible to glimpse the future of a state and its ability to build the future itself. The 2020 EIS score is by no means negative for Italy, on the contrary: the vote, in some ways, could even be defined flattering after too many years of inert and lascivious settling on a simple pass.

EIS 2020: what's going, what's wrong

However, stopping to vote would be superficial and misleading: we need to understand what the EIS tells us about Italy and the Italian capacity to innovate. It is therefore necessary to start first from the positive aspects, almost all recorded in the "Innovators" chapter: the EU rewards the activism that has surrounded the sector in recent years, so much so that the overall score has been able to rise, also and above all thanks to this jump, from 80 to 90 within 3 years after a very long period without deviations.

If the promotion among the innovators is full, the opinions are positive also in the research and property registration sector intellectuals. And if all this innovation is not always grounded (in fact the impact on sales and the market remains inexorably low), then the problem is another and in many ways the answer is in that Enea Tech fund which will make technology transfer its primary vocation.
