>> Faced with today's challenge of sustaining competitiveness in a world of global competition, Europe's regions are required to improve their own regional innovation system and adapt the offer of innovation support services to the rapidly changing needs of local companies and, in particular, SMEs.
>> TII's 2009 annual conference will showcase examples of programmes, schemes and models which can demonstrate their real impact on raising regional innovation performance through facts, figures and anecdotal evidence or success stories.
