The Paradigm of the Eu’s «new Innovative Worldview»

Abstract

The essential conceptual component of the innovation power of the EU economy in the last decade is the paradigm of the "new innovative worldview", which is based on the conceptual apparatus of "open innovation", called "Open Innovation 2.0». The research aims to study the modern paradigm of the "new innovative worldview" of the European Union. The research methodology involved extensive analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalisation tools. The article examines the global paradigm of the "new innovative worldview" of the European Union. It defines the main features that characterise the "Open Innovation 2.0" of the EU. The paper proves that knowledge and innovation remain priority areas for developing the innovation power of the European Union. The emergence and development of "open innovation" are associated with a synergistic worldview of the evolution of economic systems and the deep media informatisation and digitalisation processes, which stimulate the computer revolution and virtualism. It demonstrates that the characteristic feature of economic development of EU member states is openness to change, the desire to improve the quality of life, the level of competitiveness of products, services and all types of resources provided by innovation as one of the most critical drivers of social development. It analyses the innovation power of the European Union member states according to the European Innovative Scoreboard. The article presents the rating of EU member states on innovation force. It founds that Sweden is still the leader in innovation in the EU. It considers the European Union's innovation strategies "Europe 2020" and the new six-year Horizon Europe – the EU research and innovation framework programme 2021–2027. It is concluded that in current conditions, the global paradigm of the "innovation worldview" of the European Union is that by pursuing an active policy of dissemination of innovation and new knowledge, EU member states contribute to the fact that regional policy, previously redistributive, all acquires more features of structural approach. The synergetic effect is achieved by combining member states' own national innovation strategies and participating in supranational, pan-European innovation programs.
