The European Innovation Scoreboard provides a comparative assessment of the Research and Innovation performance of EU Member States, other European countries, and global competitors. It helps countries assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of their national innovation systems and identify challenges that need to be addressed. The European Innovation Scoreboard 2025 was released on 15 July 2025.

The analysis categorises Member States in four innovation groups based on their scores: 

  • Innovation Leaders (performance is above 125% of the EU average)
  • Strong Innovators (between 100% and 125% of the EU average)
  • Moderate Innovators (between 70% and 100% of the EU average)
  • Emerging Innovators (below 70% of the EU average)

An interactive tool allows for customised comparisons of performance scores and to visualise country profiles, compare relative strengths, weaknesses and trends, and test correlations between indicators.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
