[kictanet] What emerging economies can teach about designing better innovation policies

[John Kieti]

Interesting write up ->
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/designing-iinnovation-policies-in-emerging-economies

To quote some of it: "*Over the last decades, these (developing) countries
have explored their competitive advantage on labour costs and natural
resources availability. However, the industry of the future will demand
fewer and more qualified workers on manufacturing systems, products will be
more sustainable and it will be cost-effective to operate close to
customers (reshoring). Governments and businesses from developing countries
have to analyse where they could be competitive in a situation where
previous advantages are fading away.*"

Some food for thought for us and policy makers...
