No EU countries among top patenting universities, GdańskTech research finds.

Kiel
European university patenting is highly concentrated geographically, with the majority of patents coming from just five Western European countries. Strikingly, more than 70 percent of European universities report no direct patent activity at all. Despite this intense concentration, no university from an EU member state ranks among the world’s top 50 patenting universities, which are dominated by the US and China. This is shown by a study developed by the research team from the Faculty of Management and Economics (GdanskTech) in the RETHINK-GSC EU Horizon research project, led by the IfW Kiel.  

The stark polarisation of university patenting in Europe raises significant concerns. Patents are important instruments for technology transfer and serve as key indicators of the knowledge flowing from universities to the market,” says Aleksandra Parteka, leading the RETHINK-GSC team at Gdansk University of Technology. “To promote economic, social, and political cohesion across Europe, it is essential to ensure that no country or region is left behind in the innovation landscape.
