The IWT is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of innovation stimulating schemes in Flanders. Through these schemes, primarily Flemish companies (including SMEs) are supported in setting up and improving the effectiveness of their innovation processes. This is achieved through strategic and applied research, as well as targeted (technological) advice and information provision. A large number of researchers and consultants contribute to these activities, all working at various accredited (public) research institutions, Flemish innovation partnerships, innovation centres, universities and colleges, federations, or other cluster organisations.
This study focuses specifically on the role of the Flemish innovation centres (five in total) in this context. Dialogic, in collaboration with researchers from Ghent University, is examining the impact of these regional players. This will involve organizing forums in which companies participate.
