New Intangibles for European Growth

Welcome to the GLOBALINTO website. The GLOBALINTO project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Program (February 2019 – April 2022).

GLOBALINTO seeks to develop new measures of intangible assets in order to analyze the role of knowledge production and diffusion for innovation, productivity and growth.

The final conference of the Horizon 2020 GLOBALINTO project was held on April 28 and 29 in Oslo as a hybrid event.

The event included a review of key results from the project within intangibles measurement, analysis and policy, presentations by external experts and a policy panel discussion of key factors to support intangible investments and growth.

Intangibles as Firm Assets or Industrial Commons: Tensions and Opportunities – GLOBALINTO workshop summary

The workshop sought to discuss the dual nature of intangible assets, and what it means for firms and for policy support.
On the one hand, firms see acquisition and control of intangibles as essential to gaining competitive advantage. On the other hand, individual ownership of intangibles can limit the sharing and exchange of intangibles. This perspective was applied to the COVID vaccination problem.

Intangibles and COVID19 – Results from the GLOBALINTO Survey of Intangibles – GLOBALINTO workshop summary

A core objective of the Horizon 2020 GLOBALINTO project is to improve measurement of Intangible Assets (IA). A key element in this is the GLOBALINTO IA Survey, which builds on earlier survey-based approaches and seeks to measure firms’ investments in intangibles, factors influencing them and their impact on innovation and economic performance.

The initial results from the GLOBALINTO IA Survey were presented at the online workshop.
