Innovation & Competitiveness Sustaining Wealth through Adding Value Sustainable innovation & economy In order to create and sustain wealth, nations need to provide jobs and income to their populations. Providing jobs requires producing goods and providing services that people or businesses – domestically or abroad – are willing to buy. This in turn requires products and services to be competitive in terms of quality and price against global competition. And in order to maximise the domestic benefits, the value chain is idyllically covered within the boundaries of a national economy (the largest share of adding value is contained in processing raw materials to finished products). Sustainable competitiveness requires a number of elements: the basic structures (infrastructure, and the maintenance of infrastructure), business environment, and last but not least, quality education and R&D capabilities. Sustainable Innovation & Competitiveness Education R & D Economic indicators Business environment Infrastructure School enrollment R&D employees GNI Business facilitation Infrastructure investments School quality R&D investments GDP Corruption Infrastructure status University degrees Patent intensity Economic diversity Business dynamic Innovation measuring Quality and availability of education in the past are an indication for today’s R&D and innovation capabilities, and today’s education performance reflect future innovation capabilities. Strength and depth of R&D activities is the basis for the development of valueadded technologies and services. Educational performance indicators are therefore highly important to predict sustained innovation and competitiveness. Additional indicators include performance data on R&D (employees in R&D functions, capital allocation, patent applications), and infrastructure investments (infrastructure investments today are an indication of the quality (and efficiency) of tomorrows infrastructure). The Gross National Income (GNI) has been chosen as an economic indicator due to more appropriately reflecting the full economic capability compared to the GDP. Further indicators relate to the actual business environment – new business registration, business legislation, corruption, and the health of the balance between agricultural, industrial and service sectors of an economy.
