Objective
RIS-NAC Project fulfills a need for an increase in regional innovation. It will provide the region with ability for fast implementation of the newest, technology, management, organization solutions and using them to achieve commercial success which will have a positive impact on the regional economy.
An economy based on the development of innovation will result in an increase in permanent employment and an increase in the setting up new and development of existing companies. Identification of regional firms needs will yield information from SMEs about their: level of innovation, contacts with RD institutions, their needs for technology and support infrastructures and main barriers of development. Analysis of the regional supply of innovation and establishing of a database of institutional aspects of innovation supply in the Malopolska region will allow to set up strategic lines of development in the region and ease the access to the innovative solutions. The information collected will enable a SW OT analysis of the regional innovation system to be made.
The Malopolska Region as a strong academic and research centre possesses an essential potential in generating new technology. Malopolska has adopted innovation development, principally in IT and Biotechnology sectors which is convergent with Lisbon strategy. The project has elaborated 14 tasks, which will clearly influence the adoption of modern technology and permit us to restructure the regions economy. Nevertheless, limited amounts of money and inadequate cooperation at regional and international level as well as the lack of good practices and experience in conductive of an effective cooperation are the main barriers to the realisation of individual innovation cases. The goal will be to create favourable circumstances for development of competitive and innovative, which is vital for the future development of the Malopolska region.
