© Fraunhofer MOEZ Searching for the Holy Grail – Searching for Capacities? Innovative potential is becoming critical in terms of long term economic growth and competitiveness CEE: Downturn of economic and social sources in transition and post transition phase, former economic and human capacities lost their values But: Policy still falls short from providing substantial support in strategic fields related to their existing potentials to built comparative advantages and solid innovational capacities

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Contents 1.Searching for the Holy Grail – Searching for Capacities? 2.The Theoretical Framework for Evaluation of Innovation Capacities 3.Innovation Capacities in CEE 4.Conclusion

© Fraunhofer MOEZ The Theoretical Framework for Evaluation of Innovation Capacities …interaction of innovators and environment Microeconomic Framework Model (Porter, 1990) …knowledge and skills within an economy Endogenous Growth Theory (Romer, 1990; Jones, 2001) …interaction of institutions within a system National Innovation System (Freeman, 1982; Lundvall, 1992; Nelson, 1993) National Innovation Capacities depend on…

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Innovation Capacities in CEE …interaction of innovators and environment …knowledge and skills within an economy …interaction of institutions within a system National Innovation Capacities depend on… Foreign Direct Investment Human Resources Institutional Networks

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Innovation Capacities in CEE – Foreign Direct Investment Vital factor in the catching up process: Facilitation of privatization and restructuring of the central planning economies Enhancing productivity, encouraging employment, stimulating innovation and technology transfer, creating spill overs But use FDI as a strategic tool Stimulate FDI within the context of national priorities to establish own innovation capacities Example: Automotive cluster in Romania (Continental, Infineon, Siemens, Renault)

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Innovation Capacities in CEE – Human Resources Human resources are important for S&T capacity building Still high potential of know how in basic research, but it needs to be complemented by applied research know how High share of young people with great demand for higher education and entrepreneurial spirit Use knowledge as a strategic tool EU-Membership and internationalization contribute to the exchange of S&T personnel and students, foster brain gain Use brain drain as a strategic tool International networking Example: pro-active human resource policy in Croatia (Unity through Knowledge Fund, Brain Gain Program), generate incentives for Croatian institutions to collaborate with Diaspora

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Innovation Capacities in CEE – Institutional Networks Connecting research infrastructure, including the academies, universities, R&D- institutions, and firms is prerequisite for an efficient innovation system Cost reduction through economies of scale and scope Productivity increases Revelation of innovation potentials Increased knowledge circulation Fostering dynamic of business start-ups Lowering transaction costs of trade Intra-RegionalInter-Regional Generating spillovers

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Innovation Capacities in CEE – Institutional Networks Strategic development of framework conditions for Funding of more consortia within innovation programs Public Private Partnerships Participation in European and international funding programs (e.g. FP7) Redefining the role of academies, universities, and research institutions (today: academies basic, pre-competitive research, universities education)

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Contents 1.Searching for the Holy Grail – Searching for Capacities? 2.The Theoretical Framework for Evaluation of Innovation Capacities 3.Innovation Capacities in CEE 4.Conclusion

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Conclusion –The Chicken Egg Problem… New products require capabilities But: accumulation of capabilities means insufficient support of other priorities because additional capabilities are not available Overdiversification low (or at least no) impact in fields of interest How to deal with this? Efficient and strategic use of own and foreign resources: Moving towards nearby products that are close to existing technologies and capacities (e.g. Taiwan, S-Korea) No nearby trees improvement of existing products, technological spill-overs, adding value to subsistent resources (e.g. Norway, Chile)

© Fraunhofer MOEZ Tasks to be Managed by Policy-Makers Steering the Innovation System Unfortunately …there is no holy grail …and no easy one-fits all solution Policy makers should… …and subsequently… Develop a mix of policy measures addressing different aspects of the National (!) Innovation System. Be aware of national peculiarities especially (real!) strength and weaknesses of the National Innovation System
