““The general consensus…is that The general consensus…is that the driving force behind long-the driving force behind long-term economic growth is science, term economic growth is science, technology and innovation in its technology and innovation in its different forms and facets” different forms and facets” (OECD: Regions and Innovation (OECD: Regions and Innovation Policy)Policy)

Less than 10 regions in the EU (total: 271) account for nearly 30% of EU expenditure on R&D

One fifth of economic growth emerges from these dominant knowledge hub regions

Improving innovation capacity outside global hubs, beyond technological R&D support is therefore vital

Innovation is not just R&D. For most companies and the majority of regions it is about building up innovation capacities first
