This paper estimates the private returns to four different kinds of R&D spending on the probability of Irish and foreign-owned businesses engaging in product, process and organizational innovation. By providing econometric analysis of nearly 2000 businesses in the Community Innovation Survey: 2004 to 2006, it makes an important contribution to our understanding of the effects of Irish innovation policy, which has incentivized businesses to spend on R&D in Ireland. The main findings are that Irish-owned businesses are significantly more likely than foreign-owned to introduce new products as a result of creative R&D work undertaken. Foreign-owned businesses, which spend nearly 6 times more per worker on R&D than Irish-owned, enjoy very high returns mostly from the purchase or licence of patents. This reflects a fundamental difference in the innovation activities of these businesses, which is critical for policymakers’ understanding of the Irish innovation system.

Promoting industry and academia linkages as well as R&D and innovation programs are prominent trends among top innovative countries. Governments support linkages through commercialization programs, industrial PhDs, and innovation funds. They also provide direct funding to national entities and universities for research. Tax credits benefit businesses, especially SMEs, involved in R&D. Sustainable development, clean energy, and climate change are areas of focus. Supporting SMEs, easing credit availability, and developing entrepreneurial environments and infrastructure also promote innovation.

Sweden has a highly innovative national innovation system despite its small size. It consistently ranks highly in measures of innovation capacity and competitiveness. Key aspects of Sweden's innovation system include strong performance in university and private sector research and development. It also benefits from ties to global companies and exports that account for about half of its GDP. While large multinational firms play an important role, challenges include a slow growth of small- and medium-sized enterprises and potential over-reliance on a few large companies. The agency VINNOVA works to strengthen Sweden's innovation capacity through funding research collaborations both domestically and internationally.
