Knowledge Based Economy and Global Competitiveness

• The economy is becoming more and more knowledge based and global

• The European Union has set the goal to become the world's most dynamic knowledge based economy

• This makes R&D very important, but R&D has to be strongly linked to business need, need-driven R&D

• Socially sustainable growth is very important in Sweden

Research and Innovation

Research: Money transformation toKnowledge & Competence

Innovation: Knowledge & Competence

transformation to Money

Developing innovation system is to make above efficient, i.e. to make investment in R&D profitable. Identify bottlenecks and possibilities.

Page 6: The Swedish Experience

An innovation system is the network and interplay of public and private institutions in which production, distribution and use of new knowledge and technology take place.

Most innovations from interplay, up to 9 of 10!

Swedish National Innovation System Characteristics:

• The economy strongly internationally linked

• The big international companies dominates the R&D-system• SME invest very little in R&D

• Universities dominates the public R&D-system and they have a third task, to cooperate with companies and society

• Small sector of Research-institutes

• Government invests very little R&D-money in companies outside the military sector

Innovations

- Process InnovationsOften big companies and no new jobs

- Product and Service InnovationOften SME and new jobs

Mission for VINNOVAPromote sustainable growth by financing need-driven R&D and developing innovation systems

Page 13: The Swedish Experience

VINNOVA’s challengeLong-term economic growth in Sweden is not strong, despite large investments in R&D

Increasing returns on Swedish R&D investments is one of VINNOVA’s challenges

Matching money from companies, co-operative research, need-driven R&D

A new SBIR-like program is needed and introduced

From S&T push to more market driven R&D
