Disclaimer The data provided are designed to help initiate and frame your thinking about data-driven decision making for your regional innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem. Much of the information provided is at a national level, but represents commonly used measures to evaluate regional innovation and entrepreneurship and to provide comparisons. The measures are not meant to be exhaustive, but rather informative examples of publicly available information to outside observers. Where possible, the data is for your specific region. Not all measures will be relevant to every area, so we may emphasize different metrics based on the unique qualities of your individual region.
Innovative Capacity (I-Capacity) The capacity of a region to generate and develop new to the world ideas from inception to market. INNOVATIVE CAPACITY PERFORMANCE -Innovation output (patents and published papers) INNOVATION CAPACITY ELEMENT PEOPLE FUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY ENVIRONMENT CULTURE & COMMUNITY DEMAND CHARACTERISTICS -Pool of innovators -Education in tech commercialization -Networks -Funding for research -Government programs -Corporate R&D spending -Physical infrastructure -Example: hi speed internet -Competition policy -Intellectual property policy -Technology transfer and collaboration policy -Experimentation culture -Celebration of invention and innovation - Rewards to innovation tenure process -Nature of established companies in region -Demand by Local Firms for Innovative Products and Services
