Abstract

A new model of technology and innovation policies in a decentralised country is offered on the basis of the geography of innovation. This consists of an analysis combining the study of the nature of innovation and its close interrelationship with the space where innovation activities take place. The structure of the proposal incorporates the cyclical model of innovation and defines a role for every agent of the national innovation system (NIS) depending on specialisation, contribution and potential for enhancing the efficiency of the innovative effort. The object of the article is to establish reliable bases for innovative proposals that will help policy-makers to improve the effectiveness of the public measures to foster technology generation: this is crucial knowledge for growth.
