Priority seeting: Empirical base…

A. Revealed technological specializationA. International comparison of industry-level R&R intensityB. Participation in FP7 by industries and priority areas

B. Revealed comparative advantageA. WITS data (3-digit NACE2) B. OECD BTDIxE data (2-digit NACE1; intermediate vs. Final goods)

C. Inward FDI stock by host industryD. Identification of growing industries

A. Positive productivity growth (2008-12)B. Positive export growth (2008-12)

What do we want to achieve / change?

22 indicators structures by priority area: (selection)•To raise the Summary Innovation Index to the average level of five most successful innovation followers (LU, NL, BE, UK, IE, AT) from the current 0.51 (EC, 2014) to 0.62 (ibid.) by 2020

•To raise the share of SMEs which, in the field of innovation, cooperate with other companies and/or PRO: from 13.6% (2010) to the level of the average of the five most successful innovation followers = 17.9%.

•To increase the share of SMEs which have introduced a product or process innovation: from 32.6% in 2011 to the level of the average of the five most successful innovation followers = 42.2%.

•To raise the share of high-tech intensive products in the export of goods: from 21.5% (2012) to the level of the EU-15 average = 27.6

•To increase export of knowledge-intensive services in total export: from 21.4% (2011) to halve the gap to the EU average = to raise this share to at least one third

What do we want to achieve / change?

Additionally, specific indicators at a more detailed level will be developed within development partnerships for each of the priority areas including the monitoring at the level of individual (groups) of companies. This includes the indicators such as:

- Value added per employee and profitability of companies;- Increased export of key product groups of the S3;- Volume of investments in R&D, the new production facilities and marketing;- Implemented pilot projects by objective and the indicators of the priority areas;- Number of the recipients of scholarships in the priority areas;
