Development of an Innovation Strategy for Wales.

In April 2012, we launched a Call for Evidence inviting stakeholders to identify ways in which innovation could help improve the well being and economic prospects of the people of Wales.

Where we are

The evidence received from the call for evidence enabled us to produce a response paper which outlined some initial proposals for consideration. The report is available below.

To produce ‘Innovation Wales’ we have followed the European Commissions Smart Specialisation methodology.
 
We will submit the initial strategy for peer review, part of the Smart Specialisation process in March 2013.

This will inevitably result in a re-evaluation of some of the thinking behind Innovation Wales and should lead to suggestions for strengthening the original strategy. Read the strategy below.

Supporting the strategy is a background and analysis paper. Read the report below.
