Swedish National Innovation System Characteristics:
• The economy strongly internationally linked
• The big international companies dominates the R&D-system
• SME invest very little in R&D
• Universities dominates the public R&D-system and they have a third task, to cooperate with companies and society
• Small sector of Research-institutes
Long-term economic growth in Sweden is weak,despite large investments in R&D.
Increasing returns on Swedish R&D investmentsis one of VINNOVA’s challenges.
