TAIEX Workshop on measures for public support to innovation 31 March 2015, Chisinau, Moldova Monitoring and evaluation of Innovation Systems Marius Mitroi, PhD

Innovation Ecosystems enterprises R&D providers government citizens individuals and organizations that directly and indirectly invest time, energy and resources in the production of scientific and technical knowledge.

Innovation Ecosystems “.. the network of institutions in the public and private sectors whose activities and interactions initiate, import, modify and diffuse new technologies.” (Freeman, 1987) “.. the elements and relationships which interact in the production, diffusion and use of new, and economically useful, knowledge... and are either located within or rooted inside the borders of a nation state.” (Lundvall, 1992) “... a set of institutions whose interactions determine the innovative performance... of national firms.” (Nelson, 1993)

Government Roles Create and nurture a proper framework for innovation Taxation (R&D tax incentives. Tax holidays, VC Incentives, etc.) Legal framework(IPR, Patent system) Fiscal environment (investments in HE, fundamemtal R&D, Grants&Loans, VC&PE Support)

Importance of M&E -consolidated source of information; -building on expertise and knowledge; -transparency and accountability -it reveals mistakes/challanges that lead to improvements; -it provides a basis for questioning and testing assumptions; -incorporate experiences into policy and practice; -assess the link between implementers, and decision-makers; -development of institutional memory; -robust basis for raising funds and influencing policy.

Basic knowledge flows among actors 1. Interactions between enterprises – joint industry activities 2. Interactions between private sector and public R&D providers - no. of joint R&D activities - co-patents & co-publishing - citation analysis - firm surveys 3. Diffusion of knowledge and technology to enterprises - technology diffusion – firm surveys 4. Mobility of personal – labor market statistics

Aproaches of M&E 1. Regional 2. National 3. International Geographic Analitical 1. Innovation surveys 2. Cluster interactions 3. International knowledge flows 4. Trusted data sources

Performance Indicators – basic indicators Derived indicators: national wealth (GDP per capita) R&D intensity (GERD/GDP) scientific impact (citations/paper) Basic measurement: Population GDP GERD BERD Papers European GDP growth 1st quarter 2014
