The Poland Knowledge Economy Assessment
(KEA) aims to provide policy options for securing
sustainable growth, and improving competitiveness, by
creating an environment conducive to business development,
and investment in general, as well as to knowledge
generation and absorption via innovation, and learning, in
particular, as well as by stimulating investment in
innovation, and in learning systems. This KEA argues that
efficient, and relevant lifelong learning systems,
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT),
institutions and funding mechanisms to support innovative
research and development (R&D), are essential components
of the National Innovation System (NIS). The foremost theme
of this report is securing sustainable growth and
competitiveness in Poland, by stimulating investment in
R&D, and in appropriate learning systems, which have a
key role in developing a country's absorptive
capacity-the ability to identify, assimilate, and exploit
knowledge from both domestic, and external sources.
Therefore, policies that support the development of
inter-firm linkages, and the capacity to absorb new
knowledge that can be gained through such linkages, are
crucial elements. As regards R&D and innovation, efforts
need to be made to build institutions and provide financial
incentives aiming to increase Polish R&D. Nevertheless,
it should be stressed that an improvement in the business
environment in Poland is a necessary condition for raising
the R&D within firms. Most importantly, efforts need to
be made to increase the quality, and relevance of the formal
education system, ensure the provision of life long learning
systems to the entire population, and improve the linkages
between academia, the scientific, and business communities
that assist the transfer of technology in other countries.
It is proposed that the regulatory framework be updated to
the European Union (EU) 2002 level, and that the capacity,
and market credibility of the Office of Telecommunications
and Post Regulation (the regulatory authority), be
strengthened in order to sustain competition. The
implementation of e-government services for businesses, as
well as citizens is key for improving the efficiency, and
competitiveness of Polish business. |
