International workshop and conference on «Innovation networks in regional development – The role of entrepreneurs, universities, municipalities and NGOs»
Regional development is a crucial area of public policy for enhancing innovation and competitiveness. For Central- and Eastern Europe it is even more critical, since the shortage of entrepreneurial knowledge and innovation capacities are clear obstacles of economic growth and welfare. Innovation networks focusing on regional development could help SMEs to join the knowledge-based economy, however joining suchnetworks are challenging.
