Regional Innovation Systems in Hungary: The Failing Synergy at the National Level

Balázs Lengyel, Loet Leydesdorff · 2010 · Regional Studies

Summary. This paper measures synergies in Hungary's regional innovation systems using entropy statistics across firm categories, sub-regions, industrial sectors, and firm sizes. The analysis reveals three distinct regimes: Budapest functions as a knowledge-based innovation hub, northwestern regions show foreign company influence on knowledge organization, and southeastern regions depend on government spending patterns. The results demonstrate failing national-level synergy despite these regional dynamics.
