The EPISIS second conference will address the potential of service innovation as a driver for value creation in Europe. All European countries have experienced rapid growth in the service industries and have become service and knowledge economies during the last decades.
In order to reach the full value potential of service innovation, for the benefit of companies all over Europe, it is important to have the right policy instruments to promote service innovation. Although our understanding of the characteristics of the service sector may be much better today than it was a decade ago, further knowledge is needed. It is important to know best practices in the support for service innovation at both regional and national level so that service innovation can be a driver of value creation.
Despite that service innovation is of importance in innovation policy in all European countries, relative few policy makers around Europe work strategically on promoting service innovation through their innovation policy.
