Abstract

Europe's prosperity and social model depend on its ability to ride the new wave of innovation ahead of us, while ensuring a broad participation in the benefits accruing from these innovations. This ability to benefit from innovation depends on access to relevant skills, which is one of the main determinants of Europe's competitiveness and the capacity to drive innovation. The fundamental link between innovation, skills and growth makes investment in skills and proactive skills policies, aligned to the evolving industrial and technological landscape, a prerequisite for a dynamic and inclusive society.
