Innovation showcases some of Europe's most brilliant new products, explained by the bright sparks behind them.

euronews is celebrating the spirit of innovation in Europe with a new series of fast-paced three minute reports.

Innovation showcases some of the most exciting products developed by European researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs. The reports cover everything from a new form of energy-saving light to heart valves grown in the laboratory, from underwater sails to a remote-controlled robot firefighter.
