Future Challenges in the Global Economy It is hard to get to the top – but even harder to stay there
Increase productivity, especially in the service sector
Bright decisions on priorities
Even better integration of SMEs into innovation policy
More attention to business know-how, commercialisation and marketing
Better innovation services, simpler systems
Internationalization and mobility of labour force
Still more active entrepreneurship-policy and Venture Capital financing
Hard global competition, not only the cost of labour but also competition for the location of R&D activities
