Author: Jesús Alquézar Sabadie

Boosting innovation is one of the basic idea of the EU2020 strategy for growth and employment. "Innovation Union" is indeed the first
flagship initiative mentioned in the EU2020 document. In this framework, national innovation policies play a key role to achieve EU2020 and Innovation Union goals.

Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to collect, describe, analyze and compare the national innovation schemes and policies of these countries according to the innovation cycle, from policy definition to work programmes and then from project level to exploitation. The aim was also to detect similarities, links or divergences between national and European innovation policies, measures and instruments, and to draw conclusions on it for future initiatives at the EU level.
