| Tiivistelmä: | This paper argues that given the correlation of innovation and R&TD efforts with regional economic development, closing the inter-regional "technology gap" in the European Union, which risks further widening, becomes a pre-condition for reducing the "cohesion gap", which is the primary objective of regional policy. Therefore regional policy should increasingly concentrate its efforts in the promotion of innovation if it is to be successful in creating the conditions for a sustained (and sustainable) economic development process in less favoured regions. |
