Innovation & New Technology
In innovation systems we have developed and published conceptual models, made the first comprehensive sub-national estimates of R&D resources in the UK, researched and promoted innovative companies in technology hot-spots, and investigated innovative industries from Taiwan to Teddington.
Some project examples are:
- Technovate
- Renewable Energy Resources
- Valuing Intellectual Property
- Regional Innovation Systems
- R & D Accounting
- Marine Industries
- Biotechnology Forecasts

SmeIav – Estimation of the Intellectual Assets held by Scottish SMEs
Clients: Targeting Technology
This project aimed to put a value on the intellectual property (and therefore new-economy growth potential) of Scotland’s Small and Medium Enterprises. In assessing the intellectual assets, it used a growth accounting method to estimate the value of intangibles in the entire economy. In conjunction, the study used the results from a Brookings study (Lev et al) which applied stock market valuations, analysts’ estimates and company accounts to estimate the value of intangible/intellectual assets by (quoted) company. These were combined with estimates of the industrial/corporate structure for Scotland to provide a harmonised estimate. (Ref : 0128)
EcTECH – Comparison of Regional Innovation Systems
Clients : the Province of British Columbia, Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Office, Government of Lower Saxony, Region Bretagne, Communidad de Valencia
The innovation systems of five regions were compared, at a time when the study of innovation systems was conducted wholly at national level. The study looked in particular at the ability of government to influence innovation systems through specific policies, such as research and development taxation, subsidies, university funding, science parks, incubators and promotional activities, in conjunction with the University of British Columbia. As well as reports aspects of the study have appeared in a number of books and academic papers, including a first publication of a first cycle model of the innovation process (Research Policy 1998).
