Abstract

Using field-level data collected in Nigeria in 2003-04, this paper examines the possibilities for learning through inter-organisational interactions in biotechnological systems of innovation, using public research institutes as an example. The paper considers interactions to be all forms of formal and informal linkages and contacts between various agents in the system of innovation, such as firms, universities, traditional medicine practitioners, hospitals and other external agencies. Using results obtained in the survey and the experiences of other countries that have succeeded in developing biotechnological capacity, critical interactions and scope for policy interventions are discussed. En utilisant des données de terrain collectées au Nigeria en 2003-2004, cet article examine les possibilités d'apprentissage à travers les interactions organisationnelles dans les systèmes d'innovations biotechnologiques, en s'appuyant sur l'exemple d'instituts de recherche publics. Il considère que les interactions correspondent à tous les liens formels et informels ainsi que les contacts entre les divers agents du système d'innovation, tels que les entreprises, les universités, les praticiens de la médecine traditionnelle, les hôpitaux et autres agences externes. En s'appuyant sur les résultats obtenus dans cette enquête et les expériences de pays qui ont remporté des succès en matière d'accroissement de capacités biotechnologiques, des interactions décisives et des possibilités d'interventions sont discutées.
