Research and innovation strategies are the pillars of Europe’s 2030 strategy: achieving growth that is smart, inclusive and sustainable. Key to this process is providing a direction for change, while also enabling bottom up experimentation and exploration. Directions for innovation can be guided towards the grand challenges facing societies, whether decarbonising the economy, develop sustainable agriculture or tackling modern care problems. Missions are ways to frame the challenges into concrete problems that will require multiple actors to work together in new ways. Focussing on problems, rather than sectors can help rebalance economies that are over-reliant on few sectors and achieve transformational change by identifying and articulating missions that not just can galvanise but also transform production, distribution, and consumption patterns across various sectors in new directions. Addressing such challenges depends crucially on investments by both private and public actors, and much more.

Missions provide a massive opportunity to increase the impact of European research and innovation, grasp the public imagination and make real progress on complex challenges. I hope this report will assist policy makers in designing and implementing the European missions of the future, as well as nurture a new belief amongst EU citizens about what real collaboration across Europe can achieve. I thank everyone who has contributed for their engagement and dedication, which has given me a palpable sense of how powerful missions can be at bringing people together around ambitious common goals.
