ICT and innovation study
[...] In order to better understand both mind-sets and promote a real dialogue between public officials and entrepreneurs, participants suggest to design a mobility programs in order to hire entrepreneurs in European Commission for a short period with clear goals and remuneration; and for officers at European Commission to go out, work for a company or set up their business and then come back to European Commission. Economic incentives for both, officers and entrepreneurs should be clear.

there are some excellent points raised in this paper. One issue is attracting the participation of entrepreneurs to work with the commission... its a great idea but how do you do it? entrepreneurs are focused like a laser beam on the development of new ventures... if you ask them to become an NGO commissioner they are no longer an entrepreneur... I also question how do your institutionalize innovation free from the fetters of large institutional politics and economics? Philosophically does it rise to the paradox of a jumbo shrimp?
