This document outlines the challenge of accelerating innovation in the European public sector. It proposes establishing an EU-level governance model and innovation platform to systematically drive public sector innovation across member states. Nine specific recommendations are made, including training 50,000 public leaders in innovation, establishing an EU Innovation Lab, setting up innovation delivery teams, and benchmarking public services. The overall ambition is to invest 5 billion euros over 5 years to achieve productivity gains of 50 billion euros through better and lower cost public services.
