SYNTHESIS

• THE INTERACTION BETWEEN UNIVERSITES AND FIRMS IS
  DONE IN PORTUGAL TODAY BY
• 1.INDIRECT LINKS
• Amplifying the pool of advanced trained human
  ressources
• Building the Knowledge base from witch can be
  develloped new links with firms
• Strenghtening the links between multinational
  companies and portuguese research centers

SYNTHESIS

• THE INTERACTION BETWEEN UNIVERSITES AND FIRMS IS
  DONE IN PORTUGAL TODAY BY
• 2.DIRECT LINKS
• Research Centers and Interface Institutes
  doing applied research by contract with
  individual firms
• Participation of research teams from Universities
  in Collective Research Projects financed by
  public funds
• Creation of Specialized Units (Incubadoras) to
  promote start ups from the resercah done in
  Universities

• COLLECTIVE EFFICIENCY STRATEGIES COMPETITIVENESS
  AND TECHNOLOGY POLES

33
Collective Efficiency Strategies

• There are four different types of Collective
  Efficiency Strategies
• (1) Competitiveness and technology poles
  innovation networks which are partnerships
  between relevant support corporations and
  institutions, sharing a strategic vision based on
  innovative activities aiming at the development
  of highly technological projects, with a strong
  international perspective (i.e., projects that
  promote technological development directed at the
  production of new products, services or
  processes, with a linkage between business skills
  and scientific and technical knowledge).
• (2) Other clusters national partnerships sharing
  a vision for the economy of a specific
  territorys economy, or for interconnected
  sectors, and for which proximity is a key factor
  in the innovation process.

34
Collective Efficiency Strategies

• (3) Programmes for the economic enhancement of
  endogenous resources (PROVERE) partnerships
  between local players who appreciate the specific
  resources of low density areas and which generate
  activities based on creativity and innovation in
  locations featuring significant weaknesses
  vis-à-vis competitiveness.
• (4) Urban regeneration and development actions
  (ARDU) partnerships for urban economic renewal,
  through the relocation or reordering of economic
  activities and renewal of economic activities in
  urban centres.

35
THE COMPETITIVENESS AND TECHNOLOGY POLES
36
The regional CLUSTERS
37
Incentive System

• Incentive System of the Competitiveness Factors
  Operational Program of the National Strategic
  Reference Framework (QREN)
• Innovation IS (SI Inovação) Innovation Incentive
  System that supports production innovation
  investment projects fostered by one or more
  companies in cooperation.
• RTD IS (SI IDT) Incentive System for Company
  Research and Technological Development that
  supports research and technological development
  and technology demonstration projects.
  Co-promotion projects are very important.

38
Incentive System

• SME Eligibility IS (SI PME) Incentive System for
  SME Qualification and Internationalisation
  designed to provide support to investment
  projects fostered by one or more SMEs in
  cooperation and aimed at innovation,
  modernisation and internationalisation of SMEs.
• It is important to highlight that these IS
  finance the cost of acquisition of the research
  and innovation consulting services provided to
  SMEs by national laboratories Vale IDT and
  Vale Inovação programmes. The Vale IDT
  programme aims to support companies so that they
  can acquire research and development services
  that will improve their products, processes or
  services. On the other hand, the Vale Inovação
  programme is used for consulting services and to
  support innovation systems.
• Incentive System of Collective Actions (SIAC)
  links between business and innovation support
  organizations (universities, polytechnics,
  clusters and competitive poles, incubators,
  science and technology parks and other entities
  that support business).

39
Funding of Research Projects

• Support System for Entities of National
  Scientific and Technological System (SAESCTN)
  objective of stimulating internationalization and
  cooperation among universities and the main labs
  and research centers in scientific areas.
• Support System for Parks of Science and
  Technology and Incubators of Technology-based
  Companies

THE TECHNOLOGY PLAN THE MOBI.E PROJECT RESULTS
critical Software, Inteli e Novabase levam Mobi.e para Xangai A Mobi.e, entidade gestora da rede de mobilidade eléctrica em Portugal, foi o parceiro escolhido para montar um modelo congénere em Xangai, anunciou ontem o coordenador do projecto, João Dias, no que representa o primeiro passo na internacionalização que a rede portuguesa tem procurado desde a sua constituição. 31-08-2011Efacec fornece 900 carregadores aos EUA "A Efacec vai fornecer 900 carregadores rápidos (carregam em aproximadamente 30 minutos) de veículos eléctricos à empresa norte- americana 350 Green, num contrato cujo valor global se cifra nos 25 milhões de euros", escreve o Jornal de Negócios. Em declarações aos Negócios, João Bento, presidente da Efacec adiantou que esta é a maior encomenda de carregadores rápidos da história da humanidade, uma vez que não há neste momento nenhum processo estruturado de fornecimento de carregadores rápidos desta dimensão, de 900 de uma vez, explicou.

Some benchmarking

•  
• The total expense in RD in Portugal has attained
  in 2009 1,71 of GDP (0,80 in 2005)
• Portugal has attained the level of 8,2
  Researchers (ETI) in thousand active population,
  equivalent to 45.909 researchers in ETI
  (surpassing the objective of the Technology Plan
  which was 6 researchers for thousand active
  population )
• Portugal has been the Third Country in UE27 with
  the biggest growth in Patents registered having
  for the first time attained the level of 100
  european patebst demands (26),  
•  

45
Some benchmarking

• The Exports of the 100 firms with more
  investment in RD in 2008 has represented more
  thna 25 of the total exports of Portugal and
  has grown four tiems faster than that total
•  
• The Value Added of the 100 firms with more
  investment in RD in 2008 has grown at 12
  almost tem times superior to the VAT of the
  portuguese economy between 2007 and 2008

46
Some benchmarking

• In the European Innovation Scoreboard 2009,
  Portugal has been the 7th Country that had the
  biggest upgrade in the INNOVATION RANKING on
  the UE 27 (surpassing countries like Spain, Italy
  and Greece)  
• The Community Innovation Survey, 2008 (CIS2008)
  points out that between , 2006 e 2008, Portugal
  has been the 4th Country in UE with more
  innovative firms 
• The Global Competitiveness Report 2010-2011
  (Setember 2010) of World Economic Forum,
  indicates that Portugal has made new progresses
  in the INNOVATION ranking, being in the 32th
  position in the ranking of 139 countries
