  4. Policy Message 1: Policies need to be upgraded to reflect that innovation is a system • Strong innovation performance relies on a well-functioning system: • Involving both “push” (supply R&D and HRST) and • “pull” (demand) factors (markets, consumers; standards; public procurement); • Linking the elements of the system (labour mobility; University / Industry; diffusion; MNE & SME).

  5. Policy Message 2: Develop a Strategy for Innovation • A “horizontal” approach: • Leadership & long-term vision; • Co-ordination via the budget; • Seek coherence: young ≠ small; • Division of labour with regions: build on indigenous strengths; seek a critical mass. • Evaluate & monitor through improved measures (measurement agenda); • Strengthen multilateral co-operation of STI.

  6. Conclusion or “What are some of the take-aways?” • Innovation is broader than R&D – it is a system. Policies for innovation, not a narrow set of innovation policies; • Innovation policy is more than budget allocations. • Better measures to reflect the central role of Innovation to the economy.
