13 13 New Demand: the EU & Japan

14 14 EU Lisbon & Barcelona Goals Barcelona 2002 [o]verall spending on R&D and innovation …should be increased with the aim of approaching 3% of GDP by 2010. Two-thirds of this new investment should come from the private sector. Lisbon 2000 The Union has today set itself a new strategic goal for the next decade: to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.

25 25 Policy Implications: an Initial Mapping 1. National Systems of Innovation (NSI) –Short-term: must compete in this global market –Long-term: need to increase indigenous supply –Increased global competition will make it will be more difficult for young researchers to be recognised, publish and get appointments at top-institutions (D.Hicks)

26 26 Policy Implications: an Initial Mapping 2. Macroeconomic Effects –Demand, Supply, then Price –Return flows will diffuse and create pressure to adopt push best practices (Saxenian ) –Need for more global coordination of economic policies and data (esp. MNEs & flows of highly skilled) to guide these policies.

27 27 Policy Implications: an Initial Mapping 3. Extending the Global K-Network –Need to reconfigure the global knowledge network, –Tap into the transnational technical communities –Pivotal role of the US –Coordinating role of the IOs.
