The Liverpool Agenda - Innovation added value
This Agenda and the others that follow it, provide a practical response to the ‘health equals wealth’ challenge first set out at the European Health Policy Forum in October 2003. The Liverpool Agenda puts forward a range of health innovation policy actions for localities, regions, and the European Commission. The Agenda has been shaped by the practical experiences, evidence and insights generated by regions from across the EU and beyond who are partners in Health ClusterNET. Importantly, it also reflects how partner regions are currently progressing in terms of economic performance and Lisbon Agenda orientation.
