By integrating societal well-being into the innovation process, SYSTEMEU aligns with key European and national strategies, including the New European Innovation Agenda, to create sustainable, regenerative ecosystems that promote both economic growth and societal well-being.
SYSTEMEU is a European project involving 15 leading organizations working across five European regions—Bavaria, Cluj-Transylvania, Castilla y León, Tuzla Canton, and Varna Innovation Valley—with varying innovation capacities. The project aims to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and inclusivity by leveraging the unique strengths of each region’s smart specialization strategies. SYSTEMEU focuses on addressing regional societal challenges and utilizing disruptive technologies to spur systemic entrepreneurship, while promoting deep-tech solutions.
SYSTEMEU emphasizes a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, engaging stakeholders from academia, industry, civil society, and policymakers to foster systemic innovation. The project identifies societal challenges, analyzes each region’s smart specializations, and develops a shared vision to tackle pressing issues through complementary innovation efforts. SYSTEMEU’s action plan includes:
SYSTEMEU addresses the issue of traditional innovation efforts’ limited focus on societal and environmental transformation, introducing a systemic and long-term perspective. By fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, SYSTEMEU will enable adaptable policies and stimulate economic vibrancy, enhancing societal well-being and advancing European innovation.Â
