INNOPOLIS Policy Simulation

1. INNOPOLIS Policy Simulation Draft for Discussion Prague 19th October 2011

2. Aims Development of the best policy practice guide: aimed at policy-makers at the regional level, & will be used in conjunction with part (a) in order to advance the process of knowledge exchange & the innovativeness of enterprises. Development of a computer simulation that can be used in the process of best policy transfer. This will allow for the specificities of the socio-economic context, the regulatory framework, and policy objectives.

3. Resources yINNOPLIS Guide to Knowledge Exchange for Policymakers y INNOPLIS Guide to Best Policy Practices for Policymakers yOther INNOPLIS material y Other similar tools and resources

4. Approach The simulation tool is intended to aid decision makers in policy formulation. The tool needs to be able to: Characterise the current situation Identify strengths & weaknesses Identify areas for improvement through appropriate policy development Policy development to be supported by the INNOPOLIS KE & BPP Guides The tool needs to bring together appropriate quantitative & qualitative data in a logical and easy to understand fashion

5. Suggested Approach yInitial draft only Very much for discussion Now and after the meeting!
