- Resumen
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a guide for the design of public policies and other tools to promote innovation that adapt to social and economic reality of regions in emerging countries. This guide should help increase the scientific activity and the development of new products and new technology in these regions. Two regional innovation models in Europe and one in Latin America have been studied to learn from their experience in the design and application of public policies to increase innovation and identify their best practices so they could be adapted and redesigned for regions in emerging countries. In Europe, the regions of Stockholm, Sweden and Catalonia, Spain, have been chosen and in Latin America Nuevo León, Mexico. In these selected regions key actions that have created a real in economy and culture impact have been identified for its possible application in other emerging countries regions. It is difficult to define public policies that can assure success in the development of a Regional Innovation System. There are many intervening factors in the innovation capacity of a region. The cultural, political and economic differences play a key role in the success or failure of R&D public policies. However several criteria have been defined for the development of innovation and R&D policies based in the lessons learned and conclusions obtained from the regions studied. These would be a good starting point for whatever region in an emerging country that wants to initiate their transformation to a more knowledge intensive region. Through the analysis of the information presented by the case studies of Stockholm, Sweden; Catalonia, Spain and Nuevo León, Mexico, 6 lines for the development of specific R&D policies have been identified in this thesis: An innovation plan development; new ways of financial support creation and promoting; a new innovation culture creation; a continuous and constant human resources education promotion; collaboration networks generation and finally a Regional Innovation System¿s evaluation system creation. From these 6 basic lines, a guide for the design of R&D public policies for the creation and support of Regional Innovation Systems in emerging countries has been developed. We hope this guide will help improve the economy and specially the quality of life for those regions that decide to use it and bet on innovation and technological development as a growing strategy. The guide intends to be an efficient support and professional material for the education of Regional Innovation System managers, offering specific lines for the development of R&D public policies besides offering formulas to suggest the optimal distribution of the resources managed in these policies. The guide will also help adding a structured methodology for public R&D policies based in the studied regions best practices. The guide could be applied in regions where until now these decisions have been made based only in local experience and can be useful during the first stages of the Regional Innovation System from its creation to the beginning of its maturation.
