  7. Overall findings • An excellent example of a well-performing R&I system. Notable strengths are: • Strong international standing in comparative international performance in most RD&I indicators. • Strong education base with excellent HE and research systems. • Strong public & private sector commitment to maintaining necessary levels of investment into education, research and innovation. • A timely response to prevailing economic conditions and challenges (the new national innovation strategy). • Unique Danish approach and culture for innovation/innovation policy - strongly reflects the country’s open and dynamic welfare society.

  8. Overall findings • However, a number of concerns exist which may call for further policy attention: • A large and heavy Danish public sector, which tends to dominate the R&I system. • Insufficient growth of productivity levels and slowing down of economic growth. • Need for well-performing Danish companies to ‘raise their game’ from European level to global arena – esp. for Danish SMEs to exploit niche market opportunities. • A need to increase the visibility (performance and policy attention) of sectors of the Danish economy outside larger companies in the pharma, biotech and energy sectors • Policy instruments in a limited number of policy areas need further development in order for the RDI system to achieve its full potential.

  9. Danish experiences Very effective process Fast evaluation Very good, flexible and targeted evaluation model General accept of the recommandations in the Danish R&D system Important to be ready and committed at national level Very important to have a clear follow-up plan at national level
