| Summary: | A Smarter Europe is a top priority of
the European Union (EU), the core of which is innovation,
economic transformation, and more competitive small and
medium enterprises (SMEs). These themes account for a huge
part of EU spending in the past, present, and future
programming periods. Despite high expenditures, impacts on
the economy often appear modest or are not well understood.
EU, national, and regional policymakers want to know where
and how to invest to get the highest return on investment
(ROI). Poland was selected as the pilot country, since it is
the largest recipient of EU funding, and has a rich set of
support measures and implementing bodies. The remainder of
the document is organized as follows. Section 2 summarizes
the assessment of the needs of the Polish ecosystem, along
with the portfolio mapping and policy mix analysis. Section
3 summarizes the functional analysis methodology and
findings. Section 4 describes the ROI/effectiveness
methodology and findings. And Section 5 offers conclusions
and recommendations based on the combined analyses. |
