I National Strategies
• Multi-level innovation governance - further decentralisation and devolution of governance responsibilities (e.g. Korea’s act on the support of the Business Belt)
• Accentuation of demand driven approaches (e.g. Finland’s action Plan)
• Industry “forming” wider innovation policy (e.g. Netherland’s top sector approach)
• Mission-oriented/sector specific approach of innovation policy
• Promotion of national companies to expand into foreign markets
II Business R&D and Innovation
• Signs of lessening direct support for R&D in favour of generic policies (e.g. Netherland’s intention to lower business taxes)
• Improving business environment (e.g. China’s efforts to reduce excessive intervention in innovation)
• Support of non-technological innovation (e.g. Finland’s changing modes of financing)
• Creation of new funds for innovation (e.g. Belgium’s Transformation and Innovation Acceleration Fund)
• Information and brokerage support (e.g. Australia’s tailored services for high growth firms)
III Public research system
• Streamlining and prioritisation of public research
• Granting Universities more autonomy
• Interest in increasing returns of public research
