New EU-AU Innovation Agenda to drive sustainable growth and jobs
Today, the European and African State Leaders jointly acknowledged the development of an EU-AU Innovation Agenda, strategically designed to support sustainable growth and jobs, in particular for the youth.

As part of the Global Gateway Investment Package, the Innovation Agenda has four main objectives: translate innovative capacities and results into tangible outputs; strengthen innovation ecosystems; develop sustainable and mutually beneficial higher education and R&I partnerships; scale-up instruments and programmes that can take forward existing successful initiatives.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:

"The cornerstone of the Innovation Agenda supports education, research and innovation. As an integral part of the Global Gateway Investment Package, the EU and AU Heads of States reconfirm the central role of research and innovation and Horizon Europe in the overall cooperation between the EU and Africa."
