"Innovation is key to getting
better-paid jobs and improving the lives of our cities and
communities. The green and digital transition is already
happening, so we must take everything we can from innovation to
bring our communities into the digital age." That is what Emil
Boc, former prime minister of Romania and mayor of Cluj Napoca,
said on the sidelines of a meeting of the European Committee of
the Regions in Ancona, focusing on the issue of innovation in
territories to push the green and digital transition across the
European Union.
Boc added, "We have to get the most out of every territory,
every European region, because we cannot afford to leave anyone,
any territory in Europe, behind." "The whole of Europe is
moving on, he added, at "the right speed. The fundamental thing,
though," he reiterated, "is to get the most out of each European
region because there is no common situation for all territories
in the EU. We need to understand where they start from, where
they want to get to, and what their peculiarities are; only in
this way can we reach a standard level of development." In
essence, "we will have a strong Europe when every region of the
EU can express its full potential."
