Regions and Innovation Policy addresses the needs of national and regional governments for greater clarity on how to strengthen the innovation capacity of regions. The first part of the book examines strategies, policies and governance, explaining why regions matter, what makes smart policy mixes, and multilevel governance. The second part of the book looks at agencies, instruments and country information, showing how agencies can maximise their impact and what policy instruments work. The final chapter provides country-by-country summaries of what countries are doing.

Uniform innovation policies are unlikely to boost growth in the bottom “two-thirds”. The top 4% of regions accounted for one-third of OECD growth from 1995-2005, but the other 96% for the remaining two-thirds. Furthermore, half of total OECD R&D investment takes place in 13% of regions; the top 20% of regions account for 50% of patenting.
