Dermination of regional research and innovation hubs in Bulgaria: exploring knowledge-based ecosystems
Journal Title: VUZF - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The study analyzed the regional research and innovation assets in Bulgaria in order to determine the capacity of the national knowledge-based ecosystem. This assessment identified regional knowledge hubs relevant to delivery against the Innovation Strategy for Smart Specializationof Bulgaria.Тhere is substantial concentration of knowledge assets in the capital city with limited connection to regional assets. Strengthening connections among the research and innovation facilities as well as networks among knowledge workers has the potential to materially advance Bulgaria’s knowledge-based ecosystem. The knowledge economy relies upon social processes sustained by close proximity among knowledge assets creating research and innovation districts or hubs. Recognizing more explicitly the regional strengths as hubs in a connected ecosystem would advance delivery of the national smart specialization strategy. In this way, the knowledge economy would be enabled to deliver more to advance Bulgaria’s ambitious national agenda within Europe.
