I. Innovation TrendsR&D Expenditures
Global R&D expenditures almost doubled in real terms from 1993 to 2009High-income countries: 70% of world totalLow- & middle-income countries
Global share up 13% (1993-2009)

I. Innovation TrendsIncreasingly International
Greater mobility of students, highly skilled workers and scientistsGreater international co-authorship of technical articlesMore patents with multinational co-inventorsGreater multinational placement of R&D facilitiesRising share of middle-income countries in global economy
Reorienting innovation

R&D Networks and IP Hubs (TTOs)
23
R&D Networks and IP Hubs (TTOs)Example Projects
Implemented in health R&D sector of 7 countriesColombia6 Western African Countries
CameroonCentral African RepublicChadEquatorial GuineaGabonRepublic of Congo
Target problem for current workNeglected diseases with large human and economic effectsMalaria vaccine
24
R&D Networks and IP Hubs (TTOs)Characteristics and Benefits
Replicable modelEconomies of scaleEfficient use of existing scientific, financial and management resources Facilitates interdisciplinary approachCollaborative innovationGreater IP protection, development and commercializationImproved return on investment
25
R&D Networks and IP Hubs (TTOs)Important Elements
Political commitment is essentialRoles and responsibilities of all participating parties must be well defined
Particularly for follow-up activitiesFundingSupport for new infrastructure after seminal project is complete
CoordinationLong-term vision
Plan ahead for replication
26
TTOs in Arab Region Creating Solutions for Local Problems
Assist certain Arab countries in creating an innovation infrastructure to support university-industry collaboration
Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, TunisiaFlexible framework
Adjustable to needs of individual countriesLeveraging results of existing activities, reforms and investmentsEach country has different modelEach country “owns” its operation
Second phase under way (Tunisia)Establishing goals on national basis

IV. Knowledge Economy
35
What is a Knowledge Economy (KE)?“A knowledge economy is one where organizations and people acquire, create, disseminate, and use knowledge more effectively for greater economic and social development.” (World Bank, 2011)
Application of knowledge is recognized as key source of growth in the global economyThis is the innovation ecosystem at workSo: build innovation ecosystems to drive economic growth
IV. Knowledge Economy
36
An economic and institutional regime that provides incentives for the efficient use of existing and new knowledge and the flourishing of entrepreneurship.An educated and skilled population that can create, share, and use knowledge well.An efficient innovation system of firms, research centers, universities, think tanks, consultants, and other organizations that can tap into the growing stock of global knowledge, assimilate and adapt it to local needs, and create new technology.Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that can facilitate the effective communication, dissemination, and processing of information.

IV. Knowledge EconomyFramework
37
“Innovation is more important now than ever before —for promoting diversified economies based on commercialization of R&D and innovation, and expanding the skills of its workers. There is a renewed sense of urgency emerging … in defining a new growth path … fueled by innovation — in a world that will be both more competitive and more constrained.”
Philippe Le Houérou, World Bank, Vice President for Europe and Central Asia Region
IV. Knowledge Economy
38
To minimize the knowledge divide, build a KEThis means build national innovation ecosystems
Increase development from conception to commercialization
