A new framework for studying national innovation systems, with the case of Croatia in the Adriatic region context

This paper aims to identify, classify and analyze the innovation chain of enablers and inhibitors in Croatia in the context of the Adriatic Region. To this end, we present a series of indicators across ten innovation dimensions that constitute an important and integral part of a national innovation system, and which were previously compiled by the PACINNO project consortium. Another important objective of the study is the evaluation of the Croatian national innovation system and innovation policies. Here we rely on the qualitative data obtained through interviews with key informants, identifying the role of the system components as innovation enabling or inhibiting. This research contributes to the literature on national and regional innovation systems by providing the first comprehensive set of data focusing on the Adriatic Region and novel analytical framework for the study of national and regional innovation systems.
