• Low RD investments by the private as well as by
  the public sector.
• Very low investments by the private sector in RD
  and innovation application. Among other reasons,
  this weakness is also due to the structure of the
  Greek economy (lack of large enterprises in
  innovation-producing, high-tech sectors).
  Business RD expenditures are particularly low
  (16 of the EU average).
• Extremely low performance record in
  manufacturing (the lowest in the EU) employment
  in medium-tech and high-tech sectors innovative
  manufacturing enterprises new-to-market product
  sales, added value high-tech industries.
• Weak production base, consisting of small-sized
  enterprises in traditional sectors that are used
  to transferring mature technology from abroad
  rather than developing technology in-house or
  cooperating with research organisations.
• Low performance in exports of high-tech products
  and in the development of new products.
• Low performance in venture capital, in terms of
  both supply (32 of the EU average) and demand.

?d??aµ?e? S?st?µat?? ?a???t?µ?a? (??)

• Segmentation of public RD efforts across many
  areas, organisations and groups whose size is
  below the critical mass required to bring
  results.
• Public research organisations are characterised
  by introversion and a limited capacity to respond
  to the needs of the economy and of society.
  Nevertheless, the public sector is the main
  driving force for innovation in Greece.
• Weak intermediary technology transfer mechanisms,
  combined with qualitative and quantitative
  deficiency of liaison. Among other reasons, this
  is also due to the lack of the necessary
  specialised personnel in these areas.
• Incompatibilities between employment supply and
  demand in research technology innovation.
  Although social demand for university-level
  education is high, new graduate scientists can
  not be absorbed by the countrys productive
  fabric. Lack of specialised scientists and
  engineers in rapidly developing technological
  areas inability of new doctoral graduates to
  secure employment in enterprises low level of
  life-long learning and training activities lack
  of suitably qualified trainers.
• Lack of entrepreneurship in the Greek research
  community, and domination of risk avoidance
  attitudes, even in young people.

5
?d??aµ?e? S?st?µat?? ?a???t?µ?a? (???)

• Low level of recognition by the general public
  and by the enterprises of the importance of
  technology and of the possibilities it provides
  for restructuring economy and society. Society is
  wary of technological change, as a result of
  insufficient or distorted information. Inability
  to showcase social models from the research and
  innovation area.
• Great regional disparities. Concentration of RD
  activities in the Attica Region (the only Greek
  Region whose innovation performance is above the
  EU average).
• Low performance in the registration of patents in
  all categories.
• Low performance in broadband penetration.
• Bureaucratic and time-consuming management
  system, focused on ex-ante evaluation rather than
  on monitoring and on detailed supervision of
  projects. Absence of a mechanism for systematic
  assessment/study of the impacts of
  policies/actions/funding.

13
Development Strategy 2007-2013
The key objective of the development strategy is
to promote innovation in all sectors as a key
driver for restructuring the Greek economy and
for the transition to the knowledge economy,
which is a prerequisite for substantial
improvement of competitiveness, development,
employment and the welfare of citizens.
Priority will be given to promoting innovative
actions that contribute to the attainment of this
objective and are environment-friendly
(eco-innovation). (GSRT, 2007)
14
Development Strategy 2007-2013

• The priority areas should focus on improving the
  competitiveness and outwardness of Greek
  enterprises, and on restructuring them through a
  shift to the production of high value-added
  products and services.
• The priority areas satisfy at least one of the
  criteria listed below
• They are crucial to the international
  competitiveness of sectors which either are
  important to the Greek economy or are expected to
  play an important role in the future.
• They strengthen research in dynamic scientific
  and technological areas in which the national
  research system has accumulated high-quality
  research potential. The development of
  corresponding capabilities in enterprises, or the
  existence of demand by the economy, is a
  desirable but not necessary condition.
• They are expected to play an important role in
  the future, by changing the situation concerning
  competition in a number of sectors.

Priority Axes

• Knowledge and Excellence
• - Knowledge production of new knowledge
  through the implementation of RTD and
  Demonstration projects and through networking
  research and production.
• Excellence Creation of internationally
  competitive poles and excellence centres.
• Value Economic exploitation and
  commercialisation of knowledge.
• Development of suitable human resources (from
  both a qualitative and a quantitative point of
  view) will be a key priority under all axes.

17
Priority Axis I (knowledge excellence)

• Support of RTD activities for the production
  knowledge in areas that will contribute to the
  restructuring of the Greek economy, by producing
  new or improved products / manufacturing
  processes and/or high value-added services, as
  well as by creating new business activities and
  supporting enterprises in sectors that produce
  innovation and high technology.
• Strengthening European, Multilateral and Regional
  ST cooperation for implementing RTD projects,
  networking and mobilising research human
  resources.
• Creation of internationally competitive poles and
  excellence centres, primarily by (a) Networking
  public research organisations and researchers at
  the national and international level, for joint
  implementation of RTD projects and exploitation
  of the knowledge produced, as well as for
  specialisation and training of research human
  resources. (b) Creating innovation clusters.
• Strengthening ST infrastructures and activities,
  on the basis of the following key criteria (a)
  excellence (b) creation of significant added
  value for the national and regional economy, for
  society and for the environment and (c) the
  requirements at the regional level.

18
Priority Axis II (value)

• Support of actions (subsidisation and/or venture
  capital) that contribute to the conversion of
  knowledge to innovative products, processes and
  services the creation of new innovative
  enterprises the support of technology and
  know-how transfer to enterprises (with emphasis
  on assisting SMEs in incorporating advanced ST
  in their production processes and final
  products) and to closing the gap between
  technological knowledge and the market.
• Strengthening demand by SMEs for research,
  technology and innovation services, and assisting
  access by SMEs to organisations that offer
  corresponding services. In general, strengthening
  demand for, and supply of, high value-added,
  knowledge-intensive services.
• Provision of incentives to increase the number of
  patents and the commercial exploitation in Greece
  of patents produced in Greece and/or abroad by
  Greek or foreign researchers and inventors
  (either as individuals or in their capacity as
  employees of enterprises and public research
  organisations).
• Science and Society networking, and strengthening
  of the research and innovative culture and, more
  generally, of the recognised business culture.
• Support of research human resources and provision
  of incentives for attracting to Greece
  researchers from abroad.
• Provision of incentives for attracting RD
  investments from abroad.
