There you will also find a copy of the presentation on the IA, which was delivered by Mr Lukovi Seke and Mr Jens Hoegel during the last HLPD meeting and the report on the “mapping” of projects pertaining to the EU-AU R&I partnership on FNSSA, aiming to identify the most promising research projects from a socio-economic development and innovation standpoint and to document the specific needs that should be addressed for such projects to turn into tangible business and development opportunities.

The public consultation on the AU-EU Innovation Agenda was launched during the online workshop “The AU-EU Innovation Agenda for building stronger value chains for sustainable growth and decent jobs” (which occurred yesterday between 2:30 and pm 3:15 CET), as part of the 7th EU-Africa Business Forum (EABF22).
