Good point. I think that the EU has an opportunity to really grow here by focusing on intellectual property enforcement, patents, copyright, and generally more strict enforcement on making sure returns for ideas go to the first person to think of them. The EU already has a pretty strong governance lead and should double down on where its strengths lie.

Define "innovation", it's such an overused umbrella term that it's lost any meaning, usually when I read it in comments like yours I simply have no idea what you mean by it.
