The Innovation Strategy complements existing government documents such as the Strategy for Industrial Policy 2009-2020, the SME Strategy for 2002-2013, the Research and Development Programme of the Government and the current Government Programme. For instance, many policy areas and objectives covered by the Ministry of Economy’s Strategy on Industrial Policy 2009-2020 such as “Applicable R&D and Innovation” are also part of the Innovation Strategy. Furthermore, the Innovation Strategy pays particular attention to increasing the innovative capabilities of SMEs and is hence in line with the national SME policy based on the European “Small Business Act”. Finally, the Innovation Strategy complements the new Government programme on R&D. While the latter has a focus on research institutions, the Innovation Strategy covers research institutions in the context of developing human resources for innovation and establishing linkages and knowledge flows with the businesses sector.
