Innovation in the NSR Programme

Lisbon Agenda Operational Programme

“Innovation has become a priority with a more varied focus on technological innovation and a stronger focus on business and system innovation. This includes an emphasis on commercialising innovations involving private partners (particularly SMEs), strengthening R&D networks and their linkages to the private and public sector, and improving the institutional conditions for a wider absorption of new knowledge. A challenge for the period 2007-2013 will be to forge stable public private partnerships (PPP).”
