The Bulgarian Innovation System in the European Union
The Bulgarian Innovation System in the European Union

Summary/Abstract: ARC Fund’s latest report Innovation.bg 2007 analyzes the state of the national innovation system and makes recommendations for enhancing the innovation performance of the Bulgarian economy. This year’s report makes a review of the European innovation policy and the opportunities it offers to Bulgaria. This year the report was enriched with a special Innovation Index of the Bulgarian enterprises, based on the results of the annual surveys of the Innovation Relay Center and with a profile of the Bulgarian innovative companies based on panel data and in-depth statistical analysis. The Innovation Index of the Bulgarian enterprises indicates that most of them (over 65%) have not implemented any innovations during the last year. The index shows signs of the low ability to combine several types of innovations and of the implementation of innovations mostly with low degree of novelty by the Bulgarian companies (novelties only for the company or the national, but not the international market).
