Innovation Ecosystem in Egypt ... Gap analysis and recommendations.
This report was made by the innovation support team at the Science & Technology Development Fund (STDF) in Egypt. The team consists of Eng. Marwa Alaa El-Din, Mohamed Kash, and Dr. Sherif Fahmy
The integration between innovation and business is a key factor in competitiveness between organizations. That is, innovation applied to a business makes no sense if not considered as an integral tool for the processes of the organization. Companies should therefore adopt a policy where innovation plays a strategic role in the design of business models to become lean, effective and competitive entities (Moraleda, 2004). The objective of this paper is to show the importance of innovation within companies, identifying the concept, the various models that different entities might adopt in order to develop better processes of innovation, as well as indicators that represent innovation at global and national levels in order to develop strategies that lead to an increase in competitiveness. For this work the method used was a bibliographical review of relevant articles from a range of authors was conducted.

Entrepreneurship is the process of starting a business, typically a startup company offering an innovative product, process or service. The entrepreneur perceives an opportunity and often exhibits biases in taking the decision to exploit the opportunity.
Entrepreneurial activities differ substantially depending on the type of organization and creativity involved. Entrepreneurship ranges in scale from solo, part-time projects to large-scale undertakings that create many jobs. Many "high value" entrepreneurial ventures seek venture capital or angel funding (seed money) in order to raise capital for building the business.[8] Many organizations exist to support would-be entrepreneurs, including specialized government agencies, business
Existing and well-functioning regional or national innovation systems designed to support scienceand
technology-based innovation have to be further developed in order to be able to meet new
challenges from emerging global markets for technology and new forms of global knowledgesharing.
Across all countries, governments have recently been involved in research and education;
hence a need for new knowledge and new business skills will also have to be in the focus of
governmental interest. Governments have constantly been called upon to react accordingly and to
adopt innovation-friendly framework conditions. New policy tools have been created to be able to
better meet this challenge.
The regional dimension has also become of increasing significance. Nowadays, regions have come
up with own innovation strategies considering the individual regional strengths instead of spreading
public investments thinly across several frontier technology research fields and, as a consequence,
not making much of an impact.
Innovation policy has to acknowledge that traditional boundaries between manufacturing and
services are increasingly being blurred. The success of manufacturing depends, for instance, very
much on innovative services, such as design, marketing and logistics as well as on product related
after-sales services, and vice versa. More and more service providers are manufacturing goods
that build upon or are related to their service portfolio or distribution channels. But regional and
industrial development policies and tools are still not sufficiently taking account of these changes.
Service innovation is in fact a driver for growth and structural change across the entire economy. It
helps to make the entire economy more productive and provides fuel for innovation in other
industries. It even has the potential to create new growth poles and to lead markets that have a
macro-economic impact.
The so called systematic innovation policy approach, which has recently been introduced in many
industrialised countries, is based on the assumption that an effective innovation policy has to
improve all determinants that influence a given sector-specific innovation system.
The indicator-based Analysis of National Innovation Systems Approach (ANIS), developed by the
Institute for Innovation and Technology (iit Berlin) includes a comprehensive examination and
evaluation of the status of national innovation systems. It is mainly intended for emerging and
developing countries for which standard innovation benchmarking and monitoring approaches
might not be sufficient as statistical data is often missing or outdated. Policy-makers of these
countries can benefit from clear advice on how to overcome weaknesses within their national
innovation system and to identify determinants of specific relevance.
HiTech is a cohort-based training Program that provides skills to participants in technology commercialization and entrepreneurship. HiTech translates cutting-edge technology and scientific discoveries into high-growth business opportunities, providing an innovation environment where teams can test market relevance of their projects and create a well-grounded business case, with the help of faculty, management students and business mentors.
HiTech runs in two alternative locations: Porto and Lisbon (currently, Porto Business School and Nova School of Business and Economics) with 6 to 8 projects each.
This group is dedicate to European research, development and innovation; open innovation; and to building an active network of professionals who have an interested in Horizon 2020 the EU's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
This Working Paper was published by United Nations University Maastricht Economic and social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT). It seeks to provide insights about the main characteristics of innovative firms and to gather new evidence with regard to the nature of the innovation process in the Latin American and Caribbean region. This Paper analyses data from a number of CARICOM countries.
Starting a new high-tech company is not easy. Furthermore, each experience is, by definition, unique. For example, the team behind the project, the problem which is
addressed, the technology upon which the solution is based, the business context when the start-up is being launched, etc. A high-tech start-up based on robotics technology is no different -- each project will be its own. However, despite all the individual characteristics of each new high-tech start-up, there are also basic elements which are common to virtually all entrepreneurial projects. Every project needs a business model. Every project needs a team to execute the model. Every project needs financing to develop its solution, and deliver it successfully to the marketplace.
This guide has as its objective to serve as a useful, practical reference, a document that can help lead a new project from the idea stage to a successfully launched high-tech start-up.
The key elements that are covered include the importance of high-tech start-ups to our economy and society, the specific opportunities and challenges of the robotics marketplace, characteristics of the right entrepreneur to lead the start-up, evaluating the technological position upon which the start-up is based, key considerations for defining a business model and business plan in order to convert the project from an idea to a successful company.
