European Union and African Union hold meeting on Innovation Agenda

The European Commission and the African Union Commission will organize a Stakeholders' event in Nairobi, Kenya, on November 23 and 24, a stakeholder event under the Innovation Agenda between the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU) dedicated to the third priority established in the EU-AU High-Level Political Dialogue on Science, Technology, and Innovation (HLPD-STI).

This event, which can be attended online, represents the culmination of a dialogue process between the European Commission and the African Union Commission aimed at gathering contributions from citizens and organizations on the preliminary version of the EU-AU Innovation Agenda. (in English and with Portuguese translation).

The actions proposed in the preliminary version of the agenda seek to respond to the needs identified for each of the four priorities of the EU-AU HLPD, namely: Public Health; Green Transition; Innovation & Technology; and Capacities for Science.

This Agenda seeks to strengthen cooperation on Research and Innovation (R&I) between the African Union and the European Union, given that R&I can contribute to boosting sustainable and inclusive economic growth and job creation, thereby reducing poverty and inequalities.
