Regional Innovation Scoreboard 2023
Voreio Aigaio (EL41) is an Emerging Innovator +. Innovation performance has increased over time (10.6%).
The first 21 rows and two data columns in the table on the left show the values and the normalised scores per indicator. The last two data columns show relative performance of the normalised scores compared to Greece and the EU. The next 7 rows show the calculation of the Regional Innovation Index (RII), the RII relative to both Greece (72.3) and the EU (57.5) in 2023, the RII in 2023 relative to the EU in 2016 (62.4), and the RII in 2016 relative to both Greece (80.8) and the EU in 2016 (51.7). The last row shows performance change between 2016 and 2023 compared to Greece (-8.5%) and to the EU (10.6%).
The radar graph shows relative strengths compared to Greece (orange line) and the EU (blue line), showing relative strengths (e.g. Non-R&D innovation expenditures) and weaknesses (e.g. Design applications).
The table below shows data highlighting possible structural differences, e.g. Employment in Agriculture & Mining (above EU average) and GDP per capita growth (below EU average).
