Innovation need research as an investment capability

Attending the Digital Assembley in Europe and listening, learning and discussing how to solve and get competetive advantages in a global economy. Europe has an unique public funded research model, but we are getting a dimminshing numbers of innovations based in Europe out of it.  So, how could we start a change program on this topic.  Here are a couple of my thoughts:

1. Europe is launching an innovation union, we should launch a nordic innovation union.  This union should take into fact the diversity in the innovation cultures in each country.  My ease picture of the best nordic comapnay is as follows:  The R&D department is operated by the norwegian. We do research very competitive with small means and in a widely network model. Then the product management should be led by a finn, she would scale it and get everybody on board. The swede should be responsible for setting up the operations and finally the sales director is danish.  This model could be incorporated into policies and requirement following the money.
2. Utilize the competetive advantage we have by a growing representation of women leadership position and designing the model by gender mainstreaming.
3. Extending the topic on innovation to include innovation in public service. The Nordic Region could take a lead in eGovernment, and by doing it in a nordic model, we would also solve the challenges of a single market, which is a great market opportunity for the Nordic businesses spinning off from an innovation program like this.
