2 I Balkan Security Network I I I December 2013 The Analysis Most academics engage with the industry to further their research rather than to commercialize their knowledge. Results are not exploited because projects were not designed for exploitation. There are strong links between internationalization and innovation but majority of SMEs are not aware of support programs. The information environment of European R&D programmes is unattractive and repelling for SMEs. 2/3 of SMEs receiving innovation support are not satisfied with the support they received. Bottlenecks: lack of financing, lack of innovation management capacity, poor IP management, lack of networking skills, unfriendly public administration
