Report for study on innovative practices in legislation around emerging tech : final report

The objective of the study is to provide evidence on how the EU regulatory environment affects innovation and the uptake of emerging technologies, particularly in the areas outlined on the Strategic Technologies in Europe Platform (STEP) Platform. The specific objectives include: - Identifying regulatory bottlenecks for market uptake of emerging technologies; - Identifying un-or underregulated areas that create excess uncertainty or regulatory risk for innovators, particularly EIC beneficiaries; - Identify which emerging technologies supported by the EIC would most benefit from flexible regulation, and in which phase or aspect of R&I; - Catalogue what flexible regulatory instruments and experimentation spaces (e.g., regulatory sandboxes, testbeds or living labs) are being used by European innovators and regulators in the emerging areas supported by the EIC and collate the evidence of their efficacy where available.
