ESIC in brief
Increasingly service innovation plays an instrumental role in the transformation and upgrading of
traditional economic sectors and industries into more productive, competitive and high value-added
business eco-systems. Considered as being multi-dimensional in nature, service innovation comprises
innovation in services, service sectors or service industries that are provided by service entrepreneurs
and service firms. It also takes place in manufacturing industries, adding further value and
contributing significantly to overall productivity and profitability. There is a growing need to assess,
analyse and demonstrate what impact service innovation has on industrial change and to assist
Member States and regions towards a greater understanding of service innovation as a driver of
industrial transformation and future competitiveness.
The European Service Innovation Centre (ESIC) is a two-year initiative commissioned by the European
Commissions Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry to capture and demonstrate the
dynamics and large-scale impact of service innovation as well as to assess how service innovation
impacts on competitiveness, industrial structures and regional development. It will also focus on
assessing the implications and impacts of service innovation on employment structures, economic
patterns and on value creation.
Primarily, ESIC will provide customised advice to six selected model demonstrator regions (the Canary
Islands, Emilia-Romagna, Limburg, Luxembourg, Northern Ireland and Upper Austria). The initiative
will also help other Europes regions and Member States to make better use of the transformative
power of service innovation in strengthening existing and emerging industries and markets and to
develop better industrial policies and smart specialisation / cluster strategies. The goal of creating a
favourable eco-system for service innovation will boost supportive infrastructures and business
conditions that, in turn, will facilitate the take-up of innovative services throughout the economy.
This work is a part of a service contract for the Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General of the European
Commission.
