The performance, challenges and related policies of the danish research and innovation system
Full text linkWe investigate the performance of the Danish research and innovation system while linking with related policies. In an international comparison, Denmark fares extremely well regarding the research performance. Likewise, Denmark is positioned as an innovative leader in Europe, and has been for several years. Even if the overall innovation performance appears superior by European standards, the numbers for innovation performance of firms call for attention, as negative development trends are observed. Based on the diagnosis of the system, we identify a challenge and four stepping stones for continued Danish innovation performance. These support our discussion of the effectiveness of the research system in transforming research to innovation output, and how future policies should become more systemic to enhance Danish innovation.<br/
The Danish regional innovation system in transition
No full textThis chapter analyses how different theoretically founded rationales have shaped Danish regional innovation policy since the turn of the millennium, with an emphasis on an innovation system perspective on two reforms implemented in 2007 and 2019, respectively. The reforms follow in the wake of a year-long debate on the relevance of the regional level for policies, which also includes a debate on which actors are relevant at different levels of aggregation. The policy reform of 2019 appears to centralise how business support is provided and also to possibly decouple some of the already established systemic links between actors. Although the new business promotion policy setup in Denmark does acknowledge that the decentralised business promotion effort should take its point of departure in local and regional growth challenges and framework conditions, there is a clear move towards simplification in organisation and actors, as well as in policy means. The precise, adequate configuration of the innovation system and its support infrastructure is difficult to determine ex ante and surely needs to be seen in a specific systemic context.</p
Udviklingsaktiviteter i den vidensintensive servicesektor
No full textPå basis af en omfattende empirisk undersøgelse af den vidensintensive del af servicesektoren viser vi, at der generelt er et højt omfang af udvikling af nye serviceydelser i danske virksomheder af denne type, også uden for Hovedstadsregionen, hvor disse erhverv er koncentreret. Vi finder ikke store forskelle mellem regionerne med hensyn til udviklingsaktiviteterne og den viden de baseres på. Da denne del af erhvervslivet kan spille en vigtig rolle for vidensspredning og som rammebetingelse for det øvrige erhvervsliv, er det vigtigt, at erhvervet selv er forandringsparat og udviklingsorienteret. Vi peger på, at politik-tiltag, der kan øge andelen af serviceudviklende virksomheder til et endnu højere niveau, skal orienteres mod faktorer internt i de enkelte virksomheder
