Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present changes associated with multi-level governance in innovation policy in Poland after 1989. The administrative reforms of the 1990s and Poland’s accession to the European Union played a crucial role in this respect. Despite the growing importance of transnational and regional levels, from the perspective of the scale of resources earmarked for research and innovation as well as impact of non-financial (legislative) instruments, the critical role is still played by national actors. The regional innovation policy is strongly dependent on financial support from the European Union. In the coming years, it will be vital for multi-level governance innovation policy in Poland to ensure proper coordination and coherence of the public support system and provide a stable financial framework for initiatives and activities implemented at various levels after 2020, especially at the regional and local levels.
