R&D Cooperation in Innovation Systems—Some Lessons from the European Regional Innovation Survey (ERIS)

Knut Koschatzky, Rolf Sternberg · 2000 · European Planning Studies

Summary. This paper analyzes data from nearly 86,000 surveys across 11 European regions to understand what drives regional innovation. The research finds that national innovation systems influence regional firms as strongly as regional systems do. Innovative partnerships vary in geographic scope depending on firm size, industry technology intensity, R&D spending, and partner type. High-tech industries rely more on local knowledge networks. Regional policy should build firm networks and connect them to national and international knowledge sources.
