From June 1st 2023 I am President of the Board of the European Innovation Council, appointed by the European Commission. I am dedicated to technological progress and innovation in its transformative power for a better society and for new generations. I am dedicated to scaling up, but also to diligently remove barriers to breakthrough and wide adoption. Please inspire me with your posts or comments. I will listen and respond as much as possible. However no response can be considered having any legal status. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the position of the European Commission
Please do not send me concepts of proposals you aim to submit to the EIC and Horizon, it may invalidate your submission as could be seen as conferring unfair advantage compared to 10.000+ proposals. Please do not offer products or services, the European Commission has fair procurement procedures in which I have no formal role. Invitations for conferences and field visits are always seriously considered, but please acknowledge that we have to look at geographical balance, impact and relevance.
