Milan and Turin are among the nine cities that have made it to the final stage of the competition to be named European Capital of Innovation. EurActiv Italy reports.
The European Commission first launched the initiative back in 2014, with the aim of recognising urban centres that promote innovation, growth and development.
Eligible cities are those that belong to a member state or a country that participates in the EU’s innovation programme, Horizon 2020, and have over 100,000 inhabitants.
