Innovation and the R&D sector

Thematic scope

Innovation and the R&D sector

• An idea is not yet innovation. Effective commercialisation and the market will have the final say
• The culture of innovation in the economy. How to create it? Openness, freedom, effective support for creativity
• Risk is difficult to accept. Company structure and mindset as a barrier to innovation. Failure as investment?
• The small dream big. Young entrepreneurship and specialised daughter companies as “carriers of innovation”?
• A common language for science and business. Do we still need a translator? Brokers of innovation, clusters, standards of co-operation between universities and companies
