Mariya Gabriel, the European commissioner for innovation, called for supporting innovation in Europe to help bring about a transition to a digital, inclusive and green society as she addressed the opening of the EU Next Generation Innovators Summit & Investment Conference during a working visit to Slovenia.
She said national recovery and resilience plans would lay the foundations for a pan-European innovation ecosystem, where the challenge was a lack of local links between innovation ecosystems within the EU and insufficient transfer of new technologies to the market. Gabriel also addressed a conference on the new European Research Area at Brdo along with Education Minister Simona Kustec.
