Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the theoretical evolution of the innovation policy in the last few decades. This paper analyses two main matters: the theoretical assumption for public policies in R&D and the practices in progress. In the first issue, particular attention will be paid to current perspectives and contents: SMEs support, the regionalisation of policies and the Triple-Helix systemic approach. The second topic analyses the consequences for policymaking, according to the current main policies for innovation, such as mission policies, diffusion and technology transfer policies, infrastructural policies and territorial policies.
