Non-US High Technology Clusters: Skolkovo Innovation Centerjammygan
Clusters are geograpbic concentrations of interconnected companies and institutions in a particular field. Clusters encompass an array of linked industries and other entities important to competition. They include, for example, suppliers of speeialized inputs sucb as components, macbinery, and services, and providers of specialized infrastructure. Clusters also often extend downstream to channels and customers and laterally to manufacturers of complementary products and to companies in industries related by skills, technologies, or common inputs. Finally, many clusters include governmental and other institutions - such as universities, standards-setting agencies, think tanks, vocational training providers, and trade associations - that provide specialized training, education, and information.
This is a brief research on Skolkovo Innovation Center - the technology cluster in Russia.
This white paper explores the venture studio model. In doing so, we present the venture studio as a new generative framework central to boosting frontier tech ecosystems. Seen by many as an emerging asset class, venture studios efficiently reframe the dynamics between time to market, resources allocation, and capital structures that frontier tech startups need to become the next unicorns.

Science technology and innovation policy review iraqSamir Raouf
Iraq signed MOU with UNCTAD to carry Science Technology and Innovation Policy review in Iraq (STIP). The review assesses science policy in Iraq and provides policy recommendations. STIP Review National Committee in Iraq was established to work as the local partner with participation of all line ministries. The STIP Review National Committee in Iraq is chaired by Ministry of Science and Technology.
Innovation ecosystem potential & performance in Africa (abstract)Mondher Khanfir
While Innovation ecosystem is embedded into manufacturing Industry in developped countries, it's rather based on startups ecosystem in Africa. To measure innovation potential, and from there the overall performance, requires a specific methodology and scoring model. This is the rationale of this research work, that reveales not only the African Startups Ecosytems ranking, but also proposes an assesment tool for innovation public policy. A case study on Tunisia is given as illustration in this report.
This was presented by Micheal Khan at the Innovation Festival at Spier Wine Estate on 8 and 9 March 2010. The sponsor was Cape Biotech Trust to raise funds for the Southern African Innovation Network (SAINe).
How to transition Pakistan towards a knowledge based economy. Moazzam Husain
In this new race, economic competition among nations will be less on physical assets and more on knowledge assets. Pakistan must take urgent and substantive steps to build its ecosystem and knowledge culture to leapfrog ahead. What needs to be done? In my course on Marketing Strategies for Emerging Economies, Summer 2019 students of the Institute of Business Management, Karachi, Pakistan were asked to come up with recommendations. This is an example of some of the best work submitted.

A Study of National Innovation Systems of GCC countriesBrowne & Mohan
A robust NIS system is a prerequisite for building a successful nation. With huge amount of wealth at their disposal, GCC countries are taking initiatives to transform themselves into knowledge based economies from oil based economies. This paper evaluates the current NIS of GCC countries, shows where they stand when compared to other countries, and how they can learn from countries like Singapore, Brazil, Malaysia, USA and Norway to make their NIS more effective.

4. Project introduction and background
A prosperity seeking nation has to develop its intellectual
wealth and translate it into sustainable, marketable, and
profitable products—goods or services.
5. But how can we achieve our lofty objective?
Project introduction and background
6. Project introduction and background
Egypt has a multitude of settings where the aforementioned
objective could be actualized. However, my project will focus
on a relatively neoteric phenomenon.
7. It’s about valorizing research endeavors
and seeding the land for academic entrepreneurial movements
across Egypt’s National Project for Scientific Renaissance.
Project introduction and background
8. In 2013, the total number of
Egyptian Patents that have
been marketed was only 8as
cited in CAPMAS annual
report on Egyptian patents &
trademarks.

Relevance to challenges of country/ region
Current Status of Patents in Egypt
Egyptian Patent Office
issued a total of 465
patents during the year
2013.
Around 82%of
these issued patents—379
patents— was granted to
foreigners, and the rest
18%was for
Egyptians (86 patents).
10. Accordingly, Higher Education Institutes (e.g. Universities) have to
consider these lacunae, and they should work on reducing this obvious
gap.
Relevance to challenges of country/ region

12. Proposed Solution
Lodged at the heart of the recommended approaches for alleviating
this problem, Technology
Transfer &
Commercialization
Offices (TTCOs) will chiefly
contribute in translating research endeavors into sustainable
products.
