Room for higher productivity - R&D and ICT can generate higher labor productivity and TFP - Synergy effects/enabling conditions - Favorable cross-border resource flows • Broadening basis for growth - Using time better: hours worked, life-long health - Encompassing SMEs - Regional and sectoral broadening - Untapped potential population groups: immigrants, women, minorities - IKED IKED 2004

Attracting FDI Development objectives Maximizing benefits of FDI Minimizing negative effects of FDI Challenges for National FDI Policies
Intensifying policy challenges • Coordination to put in place comprehensive innovation policy • Appropriate mechanisms for public funding of R&D • Science-industry interplay: incentives for university and scientists to work with industry, upgrading science parks and incubators • Reforms to strengthen conditions for provision of micro-funding and better functioning venture capital markets • Valuing knowledge, competence upgrading in SMEs, enabling meeting specific needs through internal upskilling or strengthened networking with regard to external competence • Plugging into global knowledge networks while underpinning traditional skills through institutional support
