"Malta and Slovakia are the Member States with the highest proportion of proinnovation citizens i.e. either “enthusiasts” or the “attracted” group. However, a relatively large proportion of countries follow very closely behind. Both Slovakia and Malta, along with Slovenia and Luxembourg boast among the highest proportion of “enthusiasts”, amounting to close to one in five citizens. Both Turkey and Romania can be distinguished with respective proportions of 25% and 20% falling under the “enthusiasts” category.
On the other side of the coin, the typology analysis shows that citizens in Poland and Latvia are least ready to embrace innovation as over three in five are classified as “anti-innovation” or “reluctant”. However, the highest proportions of “anti-innovation” citizens are in Greece (22%), Cyprus (21%) and Portugal (20%). A similarly high proportion of Bulgarians (20%) falls under this category."
