Release of the 2025 edition of the European Innovation Scoreboard.

Published on | 2 months ago

Programmes EIC EIE Horizon Europe

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.

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
