  15. Policy Implications

  16. Implications • R&D projects account for over 6% of global FDI so have become a very important source of investment – especially for emerging markets • Companies typically have a regional R&D strategy, so understanding your competitive position regionally is key • Innovation-driven investors can have a major impact on the economy. Microsoft estimates 1 job it creates leads to 30 spin-off jobs compared to a 1:3 ratio typical in manufacturing • To attract R&D investors requires a combination of available skills, markets, clusters, and universities • Most investment still comes from the developed economies, although major EM companies are playing a bigger role • Major corporations dominate R&D investment, but still 1 in 10 R&D projects come from SMEs often linked to new VC
