What does the European Union expect from it’s member states in general, and from Sweden in particular, when it comes to research and innovation to meet the global challenges? Sweden continues to be the  Innovation Leader in Europe. Being an innovation leader is also a responsibility. What does that mean from a European perspective? Which responsibilities and expectations come with being one of the most innovative countries in the world?

Throughout his career in the European Commission, Peter Dröll has dealt with research, innovation, industrial and environmental policies. As Director for Prosperity he is in charge of the acceleration of industrial transformation through research and innovation. He is a lawyer by training and holds a PhD in German Constitutional Law.
