Innovation

The creation of new knowledge and its application to addressing economic or non-economic issues such as environmental protection are at the core of innovation, including the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We develop original data that will allow us to understand this process and conduct research that will make contributions with international recognitions as well as to policy formation aimed at accelerate innovation. Specifically, the focus is on analyzing the innovation capabilities of industries, government policies supporting research and development, industry organizations and market practices conducive to innovations by startups and through vertical specialization, the structure of intellectual property systems and technology standards, and industry-academia collaboration. The study is conducted from an international perspective, including an international comparison of innovation performance.
