49 Startup Europe In 2017, the Commission will reinfoce Startup Europe which will take a wider scope beyond the ICT and web startup sector. The Commission will coordinate EU work to connect clusters and ecosystems across Europe, as well as bring stronger coherence between the different EU initiatives in particular by linking up national and regional Ministries, innovation agencies and other stakeholders and ecosystems. 49
50 Innovation procurement In the first FP7 innovation procurement actions, SMEs won 2.5 more times contracts than in standard exercises (73% versus 29%) and 15 times more contracts were awarded cross-border than the average in public procurement in Europe (29% versus 2%). Encourage MS to set ambitious innovation buying targets 50
51 Innovation radar Makes it easier to spot early on Horizon 2020-funded innovations with market potential and the teams behind them (e.g. SMEs, startups, spin-offs, universities).

61 Innovation and Regulation Innovation Principle COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS ON BETTER REGULATION TO STRENGTHEN COMPETITIVENESS 26 May 2016 STRESSES that, when considering, developing or updating EU policy or regulatory measures, the 'Innovation Principle' should be applied, which entails taking into account the impact on research and innovation in the process of developing and reviewing regulation in all policy domains. CALLS on the Commission together with Member States, to further determine its use and to evaluate its potential impact The Council recalls the Precautionary Principle. 61
62 Innovation and Regulation Innovation Principle " innovators, and particularly start-ups, often face regulatory barriers or uncertainties in introducing their innovations to market. As part of its Better Regulation agenda, the Commission is taking into account the potential impact on innovation of current and new regulation, in line with the innovation principle as requested by the Council." - Europe's next leaders: the Start-up and Scale-up Initiative (Nov 2016) "Creating the right market conditions for innovation includes putting in place a stable, longterm, transparent and predictable regulatory environment. In May 2015, the Commission presented the revised Better Regulation package, recognising that innovation needs to be thoroughly considered in any new legislative proposals. This has been stressed in recent Council conclusions referring to the innovation principle. " "Upcoming legislative proposals relevant to clean energy and climate action, amongst others the revision of the post-2020 strategies on cars/vans and on lorries, buses and coaches, will be subject to an in-depth analysis of their impact on research and innovation." - Accelerating Clean Energy Innovation (Nov 2016) 62
