Moira Forsyth - Innovation & Enterprise Services Rural Innovation Through Knowledge Transfer

Why Innovation? Innovation Technology & Engineering RuralTourism Financia l Services Creative Industries Forest & Timber Technologies Energy Life Sciences Food & Drink Textiles Scottish Government Economic Strategy: “Strengthening levels of innovation and commercialisation, including improving the links between our universities and private sector companies” “Solidarity, Cohesion, and Sustainability”

Why Rural Innovation? Over 85% of Scotland’s rural businesses are small or micro. Highly dispersed business base = lack of networking Markets are limited in scale and there is limited competition. Less knowledge intense industry = high % land-based businesses Lack of regionally-based HEIs Fewer regionally-produced graduates. Two-tiered Innovation System. Low levels of innovation Few high growth businesses Lack of engagement with the knowledge base.
