Abstract

The ability of the model of “sustainable economic growth” put forward by the Lisbon Agenda1 to deliver its benefits evenly to the EU regions depends essentially on the capacity of each region to produce and access innovation. In this context the uneven geographical distribution of R&D activities has been regarded as a crucial source of competitive advantage for some areas and the promotion of R&D investment has become a key ingredient of EU regional development policies. EU policies to promote the “knowledge-based” economy have mainly been focused on various forms of support for R&D activities not only for the “production” of new knowledge but also for the economic exploitation of existing knowledge.
