The biennial World Intellectual Property Report “Making Innovation Policy Work for Development” documents a recent resurgence in industrial policy making, including in many developing and least developed countries, aimed at ensuring a wide and growing economic structure base – and the innovation, creativity and technology required to achieve it.
This Report focuses on three case studies in eight countries to reveal insights into how policy makers have leveraged and enhanced existing industrial capabilities to create today’s advanced and sophisticated motorcycles, video games and agricultural technologies and provides a new policy toolkit that can help countries replicate these success stories. By identifying over 600 technological, scientific and production capabilities spread across the globe, the new framework enables decision makers to design smart policies based on empirical evidence.
Policymakers can see where, when and how to target their innovation policies either by cultivating their strengths or by leveraging them to achieve new and exciting scientific, technological and productive opportunities.
