The report is a draft mid-term report and is therefore not yet
complete. These are the points for attention:
• Only EU instruments are included (chapter 2), no national/regional
• Topics are currently on its way
• Next practices need more attention (chapters 3-5/6)
• Little information on Service Innovation (chapter 6)
• Conclusions will follow after full work is done (chapter 7)
• Recommendations differ in quality and quantity (chapter 8)
