如果加以适当利用，日益全球化可为区域经济体提供令人感兴趣的机会。然而，如果不以一种有远见的方式加以管理，各区域，特别是那些处于中等发展水平的区域，可能会失去与发展中国家各区域相比的相对优势。创新是提高和确保企业竞争力和地方经济增长机会的主要手段。本文旨在探讨公共政策在强化区域创新体系中的重要性以及区域创新机构的作用。考虑到这一点，我们描述的政策实施的“区域技术和创新机构”的普利亚，在南部意大利的一个地区，突出其主要优势和劣势。
Increasing globalization, if properly exploited, can provide interesting opportunities for regional economies. Nevertheless, when they are not managed with a far-sighted approach, regions, and particularly those at an intermediate level of development, can lose their comparative advantages compared with regions of developing countries. Innovation is the main instrument for improving and ensuring competitiveness to enterprises and growth opportunities to local economies. The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of public policies in reinforcing regional innovation systems and the role of regional innovation agencies. With this in mind, we describe the policies implemented by the “Regional Agency for Technology and Innovation” of Apulia, a region in Southern Italy, highlighting its main strengths and weaknesses.
