Measuring investment, innovation and the EU’s role in worldwide industrial ecosystems
This report presents a novel, network-based approach to map the global positioning of the EU across industrial ecosystems, benchmarking against other geographic areas, in particular the United States and China. Building on the DGTES methodology, initially applied to the digital ecosystem, we extend the framework to all 14 industrial ecosystems as defined by the European New Industrial Strategy.
This work offers the first comparative, data-driven picture of the EU’s industrial landscape using a network-based approach. While not exhaustive, it offers early insights into Europe’s strengths, dependencies, and areas for strategic policy attention. It is intended as a starting point for deeper analysis, supporting the European Commission’s industrial priorities under ‘A new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness’.
