在当今的全球经济中，基于知识的创新能力和使这些创新进入市场是竞争的基础。不幸的是，欧洲在一流的研究和将其转化为市场化创新之间仍然存在着差距，（”欧洲创新悖论"）。
然而，欧洲标准可以减少这一差距。为了发掘将研究结果转化为市场创新的途径，CEN 和 CENELEC（两个欧洲官方认可的欧洲标准化组织）将组织题为“通过标准促进创新 – 您通往市场之门”研讨会。作为欧洲创新生态系统的重要使命，此次高级别活动将于2019年11月13日，在在欧洲自由贸易联盟（EFTA）的支持下，于布鲁塞尔举行。
本次会议的目的是利用标准化作为推动因素，促进创新和研究成果进入市场转化为生产力的能力。在此次为期一天的会议过程中，创新和标准化领域的领先专家将介绍他们在连接科研研究和市场这两个区域之间的经验，并突出强调每个领域如何从另一个领域中获益。
通过不同的专题会议，科学家和研究人员将了解标准是如何工作的，以及如何成功地将标准用于促进创新。此次会议还将是搭建研究领域与标准化桥梁的机会。本次会议将汇集来自欧盟委员会、欧洲标准化社区、大学和研究机构、初创企业和创新中心的代表，与会嘉宾将提供详细和深入的关于欧洲标准化各个方面的相关内容。
本次会议是免费的，对标准与创新之间联系感兴趣的所有人均可以报名参会。例如：希望打入欧洲6亿消费市场的企业家；有兴趣了解如何使自己的创新想法进入市场的创新者；渴望学习如何将标准化纳入研究计划的研究人员；和创新推动者。

这次会议是BRIDGIT2项目的高峰。BRIDGIT2项目由欧盟委员会和欧洲自由贸易联盟共同资助，是由10个国家标准化机构以及CEN和CENELEC组成的联合体，其宗旨是加强标准化与欧洲研究和创新社区之间的联系。项目网站：www.cencenelec.eu/research/BRIDGIT2/Pages/default.aspx.
‘Boosting Innovation through Standards’: CEN and CENELEC organise a European conference bridging the gap between researchers and standardization 
In today’s global economy, based on knowledge, the ability to innovate and for those innovations to access the market is fundamental to compete. Unfortunately, Europe still suffers from a gap between first-class research and the failure to transfer it into marketable innovations – known as the “European innovation paradox”. 
European standards can provide a solution to this gap. In order to discover how, CEN and CENELEC, two of the officially recognised European standardization organizations, are organising the conference Boosting Innovation through standards – Your Gateway to the market. A major appointment in the European innovation ecosystem, the high-level event will take place in Brussels on 13th November 2019 with the financial support of the European Commission and EFTA.
The aim of the conference is to boost the market uptake of innovation and research outcomes by using standardization as an enabler. Over the course of the day, leading experts in innovation and standardization will present their experiences in linking the two worlds and highlighting how each one is benefiting from the other.
Through different thematic sections, scientists and researchers will get to know how standards work and how they can be used successfully for the scaling up of innovations. The event will also be an opportunity to connect and build bridges across the research and standardization communities. 
The quality of the get-together is ensured by its wide and selected pool of speakers: representatives from the European Commission, the standardization community, university and research, start-ups and innovation centres will provide detailed and in-depth insight into the various aspects of standardization. 
The ‘Boosting innovation through standards’ conference is free of charge and is open to everyone interested in the connection between standards and innovation, such as: entrepreneurs looking to break into a market of 600 million consumers; innovators interested in knowing how their ideas can reach the market; researchers eager to learn how to integrate standardization in research programmes; and innovation enablers (NCPs, European Federations, ETPs and other multipliers).

The conference is the culmination of the BRIDGIT2 project. The BRIDGIT2 project, co-financed by the EC and EFTA, is a consortium of 10 national standardization bodies and CEN and CENELEC whose aim is to strengthen the bonds between standardization and the European research and innovation communities (R&I). It started December 2017 to finish at the end of 2019. For more information about BRIDGIT2, you can visit the website www.cencenelec.eu/research/BRIDGIT2/Pages/default.aspx.
