Annex 1 – part II – point 3 – point 3.2 – point 3.2.3 – paragraph 1
This will support market-driven innovation in view of enhancing the innovation capacity of firms by improving the framework conditions for innovation as well as tackling the specific barriers preventing the growth of innovative firms, in particular SMEs and enterprises of intermediate size with potential for fast growth, including those in the creative industries. Specialised innovation support (on e.g. IP exploitation, networks of procurers, support to technology transfer offices, strategic design) and reviews of public policies in relation to innovation will be supported. Recognise that innovation also has a cultural dimension as content drives technology. The cultural development for innovation, beyond the pure technological understanding of innovation, has been an important step forward and the current program should enforce this pace.
