Innovation and ResearchInnovation and Research
Innovation is the development of new products, services and processes, which may be based on cutting edge research.
Innovation and research are now increasingly international endeavors.
Global challenges in areas like climate change, security and the demographic shift are on an unprecedented scale
N. Boukhatem UMP
Innovation and ResearchInnovation and Research•Innovation is essential to competitiveness and higher living standards through greater investment and increased collaboration.•A large body of evidence shows that innovative economies are more productive and faster growing. They deliver higher returns on investment and increased living standards. They are better at responding to changing circumstances through redeploying old activities and jobs•Developed countries are spending more on research and working to develop clusters of knowledge and innovation hotspots•To succeed in the global innovation economy, our Nation must strengthen its ability to accelerate the commercialization of emerging technologies

Common characteristics of Common characteristics of successful national systems, successful national systems,
An ability to generate long-term and risky investment at scale for new ideas, both public and private. These new ideas are the result of relationships among people producing, sharing, applying and developing various kinds of knowledge through cohesive networks.
These networks also allow them to engage with international collaborators and adopt innovations that emerge elsewhere in the world.
The Governments, delivery bodies and agencies take a leadership role.
Developing technological capabilities through funding research and R&D.
They actively support strong collaborations between actors and take investment decisions on research and technological priorities, and institutional frameworks as well as education, regulation and infrastructure provision.N. Boukhatem UMP
ResearchResearch Budget BudgetAs an indication:UK have already maintained an annual £4.6
billion budget for science and research program
The UK’s universities secured over £3 billion from external sources last year
We have limited resources to invest, and must prioritize our investments into emerging technologies on the basis of rigorous criteria, and an independent assessment of national capability to exploit their potential and succeed in global markets.
We will prioritize our investments in emerging technologies that have wide application, where global markets are growing, helping create the enterprises of the future

DESIGN DESIGN The importance of design as a tool for
innovation, productivity and economic growth is largely accepted around the world.
China’s Premier Minister, Wen Jiabao has stated a desire to move from “Made in China” to “Designed in China”.
Other Asian governments are vigorously committed to the promotion of design, notably those in Singapore, Korea and Malaysia.
Similar drives are evident around the world and there is enhanced focus in Europe
N. Boukhatem UMP
What’s Design?What’s Design?Design is what links creativity and
innovation. It shapes ideas to become practical and attractive propositions for users or customers. Design may be described as creativity deployed to a specific end
It is the use of structured thinking, tools and processes to develop solutions that are human-centred and fit for purpose
N. Boukhatem UMP
National design National design strategies in the Far East strategies in the Far East Asian governments are vigorously
committed to the promotion of design, notably those in Singapore, Korea, Malaysia and China
The scale of investment in building design capability in the Far East is considerable ◦ As an example: design investment by the
Korean Government as a proportion of GDP is nearly ten times greater than in the UK
◦ It has ambitions to increase the number of firms with in-house design teams from 20,000 to 100,000 and to treble the value of its design sector
N. Boukhatem UMP
Design in European Design in European innovation policy innovation policy
In May 2010, the Ministers in charge of competitiveness in the Council of the European Union adopted conclusions on design as a driver of user-centred innovation and are introducing a European Design Innovation Initiative
Many individual European nations have design bodies that promote the use of design, notably Germany, France and the Scandinavian countries

Economic ContextEconomic Context
It used to take many years, often decades, for academic discoveries to be commercialized. This has changed into a race between nations to bring new technologies to market more quickly, to gain first mover advantage and establish a dominant market position in the following years
Smaller countries can however compete, as Finland has shown with Nokia
N. Boukhatem UMP
Role of TICsRole of TICsThe specific role of TICs varies
according to the innovation system and economic and social landscape of the countries they operate in.
However a shared rationale exists for TICs that bridge the gap between academic discovery and commercial exploitation N. Boukhatem UMP
Shared characteristics for Shared characteristics for developing TICsdeveloping TICs
It is common for TICs to be focused on sectors or technologies which capitalize on local and national strengths rather than have a wider spread of institutes in many technology or sectoral fields
Most benefit from long-term, sustained and predictable flows of public funding, although the level and type of funding varies significantly. N. Boukhatem UMP
shared characteristics for shared characteristics for developing TICsdeveloping TICs
The workforce is recruited from the academic and private sector and possesses research, technology development and commercialization skills
TICs are expected to supplement core funding by winning additional income from public and private sector contract research, and through the commercialization of IP

shared characteristics for shared characteristics for developing TICsdeveloping TICs
Strong governance structures are in place in many to provide strategic direction and ensure the quality of services provided to business
Almost all operate with a high degree of autonomy to manage the achievement of their objectives
A strong brand has been found to reinforce a TIC or network of TICs by making them a more attractive partner to the private sector and for international collaborations
International collaborations are widely undertaken with many within the EU, and leveraging significant funding from the Framework Program
