The European Innovation Council (EIC) should be run by a high profile tech entrepreneur, says Intel vice-president and director of Intel Labs Europe Martin Curley. 

The position would mirror that of the chief technology officer in the US, a position introduced by President Barack Obama in 2009. The responsibilities it carries are amorphous: the holder of the role advises on new technology policy, recruits more tech talent into government and identifies novel ways to improve the quality of government digital services.
