Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss European and Poland’s innovation policy and find out if the measures address crucial challenges of regional innovation system restructuring. Increasing innovativeness of Polish regions is extremely important for their investment attractiveness as their competitiveness, when expressed as labor costs in relation to the average of the EU-15 countries, has been gradually deteriorating. There is a huge diversity in regional innovation performances: therefore, the innovation support programs should be tailored to the needs of individual regions. Tailored policy targets need to be systematically linked with the modernization of industries, in particular strengthening those belonging to technological specialization of regions. Therefore, the idea to ground innovation policy on smart specialization defined ex-ante seems to be very relevant to regions’ needs. However, strategic priorities for science and technology specialization should be differentiated for individual regions in a way that allows them to establish specific production profiles linked to human capital availability and developments.
