Speaking in Brussels last Friday, EU Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas officially proclaimed Amsterdam the new innovation capital of Europe. This special status, which is awarded every two years, comes with €950,000 in prize money. Amsterdam, which is the home of the Netherlands EU Presidency, was nominated for its approach to smart growth, start-ups, liveability and digital social innovation. Two years ago Barcelona was proclaimed the very first ‘iCapital’.
