As part of the innovation policy project within services from 2006-2007, participating countries share reports on their existing policy measures regarding supporting service innovation. This report provides an overview of the policy measures intended to enable service innovation in the Netherlands. The different policy measures are identified, using the typology of innovation policy measures by Professor Luke Georghiou. The research questions addressed in this report are derived from the related policy mapping template offered by the coordinators of the IPPS project. This report is primarily based on desk research (e.g. the EU Trendchart Database and recent research reports) and additional phone interviews. The following research questions are answered:
  • Which policy actors are involved in the National Innovation System (NIS)?
  • Which actors recognise service and related innovations?
  • How do policy actors address service-related innovations?
  • How can the supply-side be described?
  • How can the demand-side be described?
