Digital Library on Innovation

The Digital Library serves as a central hub for retrieving in-depth insights into technology and innovation. It brings together a diverse collection of resources, not only from the EPO and its expert partners, but also from wider innovation ecosystem networks. The content spans key areas such as emerging technologies, economic trends, patent analytics and intellectual property (IP) frameworks.

This is the first version of the Digital Library, launched with a focused but limited selection of materials. It marks the beginning of a broader initiative, and its content will be continuously expanded and updated over time to reflect new developments and user needs.

By expanding access to this body of knowledge, we aim to empower those who analyse the role of IP in society and explore how innovation evolves, from policymakers and scholars to journalists. Their insights help to understand the dynamics and key actors shaping today's innovation ecosystem.
