Preface In 2019, European innovation looked primed for unprecedented growth. Startup Genome found that 14 of the world’s top 30 innovation ecosystems were European, while Sifted and Dealroom credited the region’s start-ups for creating over 2 million jobs and 10% of job growth. Factors across the board indicated that Europe was finally closing that gap in company valuation, the number of unicorns and even the amount of capital, while political support for both the digital and green agenda had taken priority with the European Commission.
