40. The aim of this conference is to convene a commemorative series of activities
on the intellectual legacy of Schumpeter with specific reference to developing
countries. Specific objectives of the initiative are to:
(a)outline the essential features of Schumpeter's ideas of relevance to
development policy and practice; (b) explore the role of innovation in polymer
research in addressing development challenges such as industry, agriculture,
health, water, shelter and environmental management; (c) disseminate the
results among development policymakers, scholars, and practitioners; and(d)
identify new research directions on innovation and development.

42. Selected Success Factors of a Competitive
National Innovation System – Policy Level
National policy makers are committed to long-term
public investments in innovation
 High demand orientation and tailor-made
National Innovation Strategy focus’ on competitive
advantages of a nation (appropriate level of innovation
sought)
Implementation of National Innovation Policy with all
relevant stake holders
Regulatory and fiscal measures are fully utilised for innovation
(CSP innovation boost in Algeria or China through feed-in laws)
Design features of innovation support measures are
demand-oriented (smart money, high impact)
42

43. Selected Success Factors of a Competitive
National Innovation System – Meso Level
 Many different actors of a national innovation system
 are available
 know and fulfil their tasks and duties
 are fully operational (staff, budget, equipment, etc.)
 operate in an innovation friendly surrounding
 Funding agencies are responsible for the design and management
of public funding measures (on behalf of Ministries, low
administration)
 Close co-operation and communication between industry and
science (e. g. stimulated by public funding)
Innovation actors on meso-level are be open for transnational co-
operation
Innovation friendly surrounding (e. g. Public Understanding of Science)

44. Selected Success Factors of a Competitive
National Innovation System – Micro Level
 Sufficient educational and vocational training system into force
 Low barriers towards funding and financing R&D, even for SME
 Public innovation actors can operate in a flexible and customer
oriented way
 Close co-operation between industry & science (stimulated by public
funding)
 Universities, public R&D-institutions and innovation agencies do not
have a fixed budget
Incentives for exploitation and commercialisation of R&D results are given
