"Innovative SMEs play a pivotal role in raising the growth potential of national economies. Even more than large firms, SMEs need to access external sources of information, knowledge, know-how and technologies to build their own innovative capability and to reach their markets. However, most developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region have very fragmented innovation systems and thus their indigenous innovation capacity is very weak. A subnational innovation system (SIS) has been widely recognized as a way to address this issue. A SIS policy focuses on industrial development and enhancing the competitiveness of local enterprises through technology and innovation capacity-building. As part of a project on SIS and technology capacity-building policies, UNESCAP undertook studies on the SIS policy framework and an SME technology capacity-building strategy and organized a regional consultative meeting to discuss such a policy framework. This publication contains two major studies, a number of best practices, case studies and country papers presented at the meeting, and policy recommendations adopted at the meeting."--Publisher's website
