DARPA operates under the US Department of Defense with a mission to fund high-risk technological programmes for radical innovation, impacting both military and civilian sectors.
An EU equivalent to DARPA has yet to materialize, highlighting the need for transformational changes in how European innovation programs are governed and managed.
DARPA exemplifies disruptive innovation by pursuing projects without the constraint of current military priorities, fostering advancements like ARPANET and GPS, which have broad civilian applications.
The agency's approach accepts high financial risks in exploration projects, where both successes and failures contribute to a collective learning process in innovation ecosystems.
