The objective of this article is to analyse the utilization of two academic narratives about innovation policy in policy discourse by examining the policy statements issued by one Swedish agency that was specifically set up to promote innovation policy, the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems, VINNOVA. The main findings of this analysis show that the deployment of the examined academic narratives in policy discourse is not accidental nor is it only limited to a role of legitimating policy decisions. The article shows that although the linear model of knowledge transfer has long been discredited, the notion of knowledge utilization is still useful to policy analysis and may be successfully deployed to understand what lies behind the assertions of mutual interplay between science and policy that characterize contemporary attempts to depict this relation.

RESUMO Um dos elementos mais marcantes desses primeiros anos do terceiro milênio motivou a elaboração deste artigo: a busca por uma nova geração de políticas para o desenvolvimento produtivo e inovativo, capaz de garantir a inclusão, equidade e sustentabilidade. A análise das políticas implementadas, no Brasil e no mundo, contribui para um aprendizado de alta relevância para a definição de novas propostas para o desenvolvimento sustentável, com maior capacidade de reconhecer e acolher as demandas das regiões menos desenvolvidas, com suas diversidades e especificidades, de forma a efetivamente reduzir desigualdades. Este é o objetivo central do capítulo: identificar o que aprendemos no Brasil, avaliar a experiência específica do BNDES e dar sugestões para o aperfeiçoamento das políticas praticadas.Palavras-chave: Inovação; Políticas para inovação; Arranjos e sistemas produtivos e inovativos; Financiamento ao desenvolvimento produtivo e inovativo e regional; BNDES.    ABSTRACT The writing of this paper was motivated by one of the most important elements of these first years of the third millennium: the search for a new generation of productive and innovative policies, designed in a way that ought to guarantee inclusion, equity and sustainability. The analysis of policies implemented, in Brazil and around the world, gave a relevant learning to design new sustainable development policies, with greater capacity to recognize and accept the less developed regions demands, considering their diversities and specificities, in order to reduce inequalities. This is the aim of this chapter: to identify what we learned in Brazil, to analysis BNDES’s specific experience and to give some clues for policies improvements.Keywords: Innovation; Local innovation and production systems; Development and innovation policy; Financing of  production; Innovation and regional development; Brazil; The BNDES.

Developments in nanotechnology have drawn the attention of governments, industry, academia and the public for their potential industrial benefits and their future trends within the innovation domain. The perception that nanotechnology promises important changes holds a rare opportunity to policy-making in its early stages. Understanding nanotechnology innovation process represents a crucial element for designing and implementing relevant, coherent and adequate innovation policy. This chapter proposes the development of an analytical framework to investigate nanotechnology paths. Results suggested that what has been generically labeled as ‘nanotechnology' actually comprises a set of different, but complementary, technologies that may be represented as particular ‘nanotechnological systems of innovation' to be used for analytical and policy designing purposes. The study attempts to contribute for the development of nanotechnology innovation indicators aiming to provide policy-makers with helpful data to support innovation policy design and foster nanotechnology development in Brazil.

The Way

This chapter comes to grips with the nature of innovation and systems of innovation. It identifies ten specific activities that define systems of innovation. The ten activities are specific elements directly related to the performance of innovation, that collectively shape the way in which innovation takes place in an innovation system. We call this a ‘systems activities approach’, and it is a broad version of the systems of innovation approach. These activities are partly performed by private organizations and partly by public organizations. The theoretical basis for innovation policy proposed in this book is built from the identification of the concrete problems (failures, bottlenecks, weaknesses, etc.) that afflict innovations and their determinants in systems of innovation, including those problems that might be the unintended consequences of policy itself.

Science Technology And Innovation

This article explores the relationship between science and technology, on the one hand, and science, technology, and innovation policy, on the other. It argues that interactions between them involve a co-evolutionary process that varies with national systems of innovation. To find real-time evidence for this, an emerging technology was chosen for analysis, namely hydrogen energy technology. Various systemic perspectives aim to show how the development path of a technology is shaped by different interests and relations within society. This article demonstrates the existence of a co-evolution pathway that varies, depending on a country`s innovation system, mediated by governance structure. National systems of innovation strongly affect the co-evolution pathway depending on their particular needs, limitations, and circumstances. The findings support the recently proposed interactive model of science, technology, and innovation policy making, which includes an interactive learning process and working policy networks of stakeholders including researchers, policy makers, and civil society.
