Global corporations create innovations in Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk using the intellectual capital of Polish employees. This is good for local cafes or developers, but not necessarily from the point of view of the entire economy: it is global companies that gain higher margins thanks to the commercialization of these innovations – points out prof. Mariusz-Jan Radło, Head of the Department of Global Economic Interdependencies at the Institute of World Economy of the Warsaw School of Economics, in the studio of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna and the Warsaw School of Economics at the Economic Forum in Karpacz.
We ask the professor about the conclusions drawn from the scientific analysis of the experiences of Poland and other countries in the area of innovation, and above all – the commercialization of innovation. We analyze, among others, the cases of the USA, Germany, Israel and Scandinavia.
- What are the key factors that influence the effective commercialization of research results in different national contexts?
- What specific advantages do countries like the US, Germany and Sweden have that enable them to effectively commercialize innovations and transfer technology?
- How can government policy increase the capacity and scale of transferring innovations from the laboratory to the market?
- Which good practices from the analysed countries might be most suitable for adaptation in Poland, taking into account our specific economic and scientific context?
- What are the most important lessons that Poland can learn from the experiences of other countries in the field of research commercialization and technology transfer?
We strongly encourage you to watch and listen to this inspiring conversation.
