Green and digital patenting of Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard companies
This analysis, along with the brief ‘Green Patenting in the Digital Techno Economic Ecosystem’ [2], examine patent-driven innovation for the twin transition through two distinct but complementary approaches, with a particular focus on EU Industrial R&D Scoreboard firms. This brief investigates how these firms perform in innovation at the intersection of climate change mitigation technologies and digital technologies, which either transform our interaction with energy systems or mitigate their additional energy consumption. The Digital Techno-Economic ecoSystem (DGTES) approach uses 'green' patent codes to explore twin innovation within the digital ecosystem to analyse EU’s global position and its industrial composition. Despite differences in methodology, both studies converge on key messages, strengthening the validity of shared conclusions referenced in both briefs.
This document has been published within the context of the Global Industrial Research & Innovation Anal-yses (GLORIA) project that is jointly carried out by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Re-search and Innovation Directorate E – Prosperity, and the Joint Research Centre Directorate B - Fair and Sustainable Economy. GLORIA has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under a specific action for scientific and technical services by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) over the period 2022-2025. The main expected impact of GLORIA is the better understanding of corporate Research & Development (R&D) efforts in relation to the EU’s long-term 3% of GDP R&D investment policy target and the EU policy objectives regarding competitiveness, the green deal and sustainability.
