The Importance of the Regional Level – Reasons Innovation performance dependent on decisions of individual economic actors Innovation-friendly framework to be created by policy-makers For SMEs innovation is about co-operation and interaction with other firms and R&D intermediaries Access to knowledge for improved products and processes Co-operation networks as ideal entry points to knowledge Effective networking through formal / informal contacts Policy actions close to companies and their environment ► Region as an environment conducive to innovation

“Hard” and “Soft” Regional Policies “Hardware” Development of the regional infrastructure “Software” – new priorities Strategic thinking Better development of the human factor Create conditions linked to competitiveness of the whole region

Regions as Most Favourable Environments for Enterprises Regional support services system targeted to entrepreneurial needs Adequate information services to enable the exploitation of knowledge Networks and co-ordination instruments to allow entrepreneurs’ co-operation Well developed education and vocational training system R&D facilities oriented towards the economic activities of the regional enterprises
