ABSTRACT
An evaluative study 'Effectiveness of Information and communication technologies (ICT) research technology development (RTD) Impacts on the European Union (EU) Innovation System' was conducted to assess how effectively EU ICT RTD and deployment initiatives are being exploited in the European systems of innovation at member state and regional levels. The focus of the study was on understanding regional innovation as an ecology that converts generated knowledge and value creation into long-term competitiveness and economic growth. We elaborate the use of the PACE toolkit, as a qualitative tool for the visualization of the impact of EU research and innovation projects on ICT, by compiling an Inventory of Regional Assets, through a battery of interviews performed in the 10 selected regions.
This paper elaborates on the value of increasing involvement of government organizations (like Public Administrations) in ICT research and innovation projects. It is really interesting, for example, to see that the direct value of acquisition of new ideas, approaches and knowledge by a government organization, can affect the regional policy on promoting innovation and creating a more competitive environment inside the region therefore generating the interest for external investment.
