Keywords:
RIS3 strategy, open innovation paradigm, quadruple helix model, open innovation 2.0Abstract
In December 2016 Austria presented to domestic and international audiences in Vienna the National Open Innovation Strategy as one of the first countries in the world. The underlying ambition of this strategy is to contribute to achieving objectives of Open Innovation 2.0 and thus boost Austria in the group of European innovation leaders. It is not only the content and structure of this vision but also approach to its elaboration and its justification which are worth pondering. Within the Europe 2020 Strategy all EU countries elaborated own Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization (RIS3) for period 2014 to 2020 and implement them. If both Austria and Slovakia follow implementation of their RIS3 Strategies, is there any need for Open Innovation Strategy in Slovakia as well? Slovakia as a moderate innovator in the EU context struggles to make the triple helix model viable (low indices GERD and BERD as % of GDP) and work properly in its economy and society. Therefore the paper deals with analysis of components of RIS3 Strategy and National Open Innovation Strategy. It recommends to enrich the Slovak RIS3 Strategy with facets of OI paradigm in order to make the quadruple helix concept work in the Slovak economy in the next years and move it up in the group of strong innovators.Downloads
