Abstract

We investigate the performance of the Danish research and innovation system while linking with related policies. In an international comparison, Denmark fares extremely well regarding the research performance. Likewise, Denmark is positioned as an innovative leader in Europe, and has been for several years. Even if the overall innovation performance appears superior by European standards, the numbers for innovation performance of firms call for attention, as negative development trends are observed. Based on the diagnosis of the system, we identify a challenge and four stepping stones for continued Danish innovation performance. These support our discussion of the effectiveness of the research system in transforming research to innovation output, and how future policies should become more systemic to enhance Danish innovation.
