Abstract
Recent research has revealed new insight into determinants of innovation and the growth of productive firms, two necessities for sustainable increases in competitiveness, income and jobs. The policy implications of this research—from management support to financial regulation – are still being worked out, but it is already changing how public policies are seen to support (or not) private innovation and private sector growth. There are unique challenges to making growth happen in a region or a country, and the regional characteristics that facilitate or impede implementation. Conference sessions elaborate on helpful policy strategies.
