As such, national (regional) innovative capacity depends on an interrelated set of fundamental investments, policies, and resource commitments that determine the extent and success of innovative effort in a country (region) over the long term. Most of the authors claim, that national (regional) innovative capacity is the outcome of innovative capacity of its inhabitants and enterprises, country (region) is some kind of container, organized in better or worse way (e.g. in terms of infrastructure) that can foster or hinder innovativeness.
