PORTUGAL: UNIVERSITIES, FIRMS AND THE REGIONAL DYNAMICS OF

INNOVATION

José Félix Ribeiroand Joana Chorincas

with the collaboration of André Magrinho

Instituto Internacional Casa de Mateus (IICM)

INTELLIGENT COMMUNITIES: UNIVERSITIES AS KNOWLEDGE PARTNERS

This presentation is based in 15 Regional Competitiveness Surveys, a project

sponsored by the

Associação Industrial Portuguesa - Câmara de Comércio e Indústria (AIP-CCI)

and Banco Espirito Santo (BES)

with the Scientific orientation of Prof José Veiga Simão and the execution by

Master Joana Chorincas andDr José Félix Ribeiro

SYNTHESIS

THE INTERACTION BETWEEN UNIVERSITES AND FIRMS IS DONE IN PORTUGAL TODAY BY

1.INDIRECT LINKS

– Amplifying the pool of advanced trained human ressources – Building the Knowledge base from witch can be develloped new

links with firms– Strenghtening the links between multinational companies and

portuguese research centers

SYNTHESIS

THE INTERACTION BETWEEN UNIVERSITES AND FIRMS IS DONE IN PORTUGAL TODAY BY

2.DIRECT LINKS

– Research Centers and Interface Institutes doing applied research by contract with individual firms

– Participation of research teams from Universities in Collective Research Projects financed by public funds

– Creation of Specialized Units (Incubadoras) to promote start ups from the resercah done in Universities

A NEW TECHNOLOGY PLAN

THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN

• THE NATIONAL STRATEGIC REFERENCE FRAMEWORK (QREN) APPROACH:– COLLECTIVE EFFICIENCY STRATEGIES:

COMPETITIVENESS AND TECHNOLOGY POLES CLUSTERS– STRENGHTENING THE RESEARCH CAPACITY OF

FIRMS – INCENTIVE SYSTEM – FUNDING OF RESEARCH PROJECTS

• THE COOPERATION WITH U.S. UNIVERSITIES– MIT– CARNEGIE MLLON– AUSTIN

Collective Efficiency Strategies

There are four different types of Collective Efficiency Strategies: • (1) Competitiveness and technology poles: innovation networks

which are partnerships between relevant support corporations and institutions, sharing a strategic vision based on innovative activities aiming at the development of highly technological projects, with a strong international perspective (i.e., projects that promote technological development directed at the production of new products, services or processes, with a linkage between business skills and scientific and technical knowledge).

• (2) Other clusters: national partnerships sharing a vision for the economy of a specific territory’s economy, or for interconnected sectors, and for which proximity is a key factor in the innovation process.

• (3) Programmes for the economic enhancement of endogenous resources (PROVERE): partnerships between local players who appreciate the specific resources of low density areas and which generate activities based on creativity and innovation in locations featuring significant weaknesses vis‐à‐vis competitiveness.

• (4) Urban regeneration and development actions (ARDU): partnerships for urban economic renewal, through the relocation or reordering of economic activities and renewal of economic activities in urban centres.

Collective Efficiency Strategies

THE COMPETITIVENESS AND TECHNOLOGY POLES

THE REGIONAL CLUSTERS

Incentive System

Incentive System of the Competitiveness Factors Operational Program of the National Strategic Reference Framework (QREN):

•Innovation IS (SI Inovação): Innovation Incentive System that supports production innovation investment projects fostered by one or more companies in cooperation.

•R&TD IS (SI I&DT): Incentive System for Company Research and Technological Development that supports research and technological development and technology demonstration projects. Co-promotion projects are very important.

• SME Eligibility IS (SI PME): Incentive System for SME Qualification and Internationalisation designed to provide support to investment projects fostered by one or more SMEs in cooperation and aimed at innovation, modernisation and internationalisation of SMEs.

– It is important to highlight that these IS finance the cost of acquisition of the research and innovation consulting services provided to SMEs by national laboratories – “Vale I&DT” and “Vale Inovação” programmes. The “Vale I&DT” programme aims to support companies so that they can acquire research and development services that will improve their products, processes or services. On the other hand, the “Vale Inovação” programme is used for consulting services and to support innovation systems.

• Incentive System of Collective Actions (SIAC): links between business and innovation support organizations (universities, polytechnics, clusters and competitive poles, incubators, science and technology parks and other entities that support business).

Incentive System

Funding of Research Projects

• Support System for Entities of National Scientific and Technological System (SAESCTN): objective of stimulating internationalization and cooperation among universities and the main labs and research centers in scientific areas.

• Support System for Parks of Science and Technology and Incubators of Technology-based Companies

levam Mobi.e para Xangai

A Mobi.e, entidade gestora da rede de mobilidade eléctrica em Portugal, foi o parceiro escolhido para montar um modelo congénere em Xangai, anunciou ontem o coordenador do projecto, João Dias, no que representa o primeiro passo na internacionalização que a rede portuguesa tem procurado desde a sua constituição.

EFACEC fornece 900 carregadores aos EUA"A Efacec vai fornecer 900 carregadores rápidos (carregam em aproximadamente 30 minutos) de veículos eléctricos à empresa norte- americana 350 Green, num contrato cujo valor global se cifra nos 25 milhões de euros", escreve o Jornal de Negócios.Em declarações aos Negócios, João Bento, presidente da Efacec adiantou que esta é a maior encomenda de carregadores rápidos da história da humanidade, uma vez que não há neste momento nenhum processo estruturado de fornecimento de carregadores rápidos desta dimensão, de 900 de uma vez, explicou.

THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN THE MOBI.E PROJECT – RESULTS

THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN

COMMUNICATION NETWORK - NEW GENERATION

SOME BENCHMARKING •

– The total expense in R&D in Portugal has attained in 2009 1,71% of GDP (0,80% in

2005)

– Portugal has attained the level of 8,2 Researchers (ETI) in thousand active

population, equivalent to 45.909 researchers in ETI (surpassing the objective of

the Technology Plan which was 6 researchers for thousand active population )

– Portugal has been the Third Country in UE27 with the biggest growth in

Patents registered having for the first time attained the level of 100 european

patebst demands (26%),  

•  

SOME BENCHMARKING

– The Exports of the 100 firms with more investment in R&D in 2008

has represented more thna 25% of the total exports of Portugal and

has grown four tiems faster than that total

 

– The Value Added of the 100 firms with more investment in R&D in

2008 has grown at 12% almost tem times superior to the VAT of the

portuguese economy between 2007 and 2008

SOME BENCHMARKING • In the “European Innovation Scoreboard 2009”, Portugal has been the 7th

Country that had the biggest upgrade in the INNOVATION RANKING on the UE 27

(surpassing countries like Spain, Italy and Greece)  

• The Community Innovation Survey, 2008 (CIS2008) points out that between ,

2006 e 2008, Portugal has been the 4th Country in UE with more innovative firms 

• The Global Competitiveness Report 2010-2011 (Setember 2010) of World

Economic Forum, indicates that Portugal has made new progresses in the

INNOVATION ranking, being in the 32th position in the ranking of 139 countries

THE PORTUGUESE APPROACH TO THE INTERIOR REGIONS: THE CASE OF TRÁS OS

MONTES - ALTO DOURO

• Install a Knowledge Pole, namely University and Polytechnic Institute with roots in the traditional activities of the Region – ex Agriculture, Wine

• Give this Pole new areas of Knowledge – ex . Human Perfomances & Sports

• Create a Pole of Attractiveness for Tourism - The DOURO Region

• Develop Creative Oporttunities based in this Pole Ex The Douro Film Contest

• Upgrade the agricultural activities giving them a more competitive approach
