Supply and demand side innovation policies

The scope of the study was to provide an overview and analysis of innovation supply side and demand side policies and their interactions in the context of a broad policy reflection about how to develop the use of demand side instruments as part of a more integrated policy approach for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of research and innovation (R&I) systems at regional, national and EU level. This reflection and the study methodology selected sought to develop an analysis based of the experiences of countries which are the more advanced on the path of integrating supply- and demand-side policies in their overall innovation strategies.
