🚀 More patents = more jobs — but only when innovation is diverse & connected. Our new RETHINK-GSC study shows: doubling patenting boosts jobs by 6%, but over-concentration in a few fields slows growth. 👉Smart, inclusive R&D policy is key. #Innovation #Jobs #STEM #EUresearch #RETHINKGSC

Innovation drives jobs: Doubling patent activity boosts employment by 6%. The effect is strongest in globally connected regions. But when innovation narrows to just a few tech fields, job growth stalls. New findings from EU project @rethink-gsc.bsky.social 👇

New paper. My favorite takeaway is that MNEs are better at turning innovation into employment.

📣 New publication! "Multinational Network, Innovation and the Growth of Employment" MNEs = more innovation and more jobs. Study finds global firms are better at turning patents into employment. Local R&D → global ripple effect. Time to rethink how we support innovation? 💡🌍 #innovation #jobs #MNEs

🚨 Only 10% of EU patents involve universities. Why? A new study of 2,900 HEIs finds third-party funding boosts both quantity & quality of patents — especially in wealthier regions. Regional policy matters! 🔗 rethink-gsc.eu/funding-stru... #Patents #Innovation #ResearchFunding #RETHINKGSC #EU

🚨 KITE Insta-Analysis: The US is imposing reciprocal tariffs on all trading partners and may count VAT as a tariff. Bottom line: The impact is largest for the US itself among large economies. Of course, big caveat: Very limited information at this point. 1/3

📣 New research: The expiry of the US Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) has led to a 5-10% drop in imports from developing countries. This is a blow to exporters, with implications for growth and market access. 🌍 Key takeaways: 1. Trade stability matters for developing nations

As part of his new trade war with China, Trump suspended the de minimus exemption for imports from China. This exempts imports of "low-value" shipments -- under $800 -- from tariffs. Why was this created? The first reason given by the NFTC is that: 1/2.

🚨 European universities are falling behind in global patenting: a new study shows that 5 countries dominate 72% of EU university patents, while 70% of universities report no activity. No EU university is in the world's top 50, which are dominated by the US and China. 👉 rethink-gsc.eu/no-eu-countr...

🚨 European university patenting is geographically concentrated, with 5 Western European countries accounting for the majority of patents. Meanwhile, 70% of European universities report no patenting activity. What does this mean for Europe's innovation landscape? 🧵1/
