Why National Training?

Business performance had been hampered by fragmented innovation policies: (i) economic incentives were not successful to significantly improve technology upgrading and export of higher added value products; (ii) technology policy was not able to create a fruitful interaction between strategic industries and private industries; (iii) industrial policy was not successful in stimulating indigenous R&D; (iv) HRD policy was not successful in developing more advanced skills, and; (v) policy on managing innovation infrastructure was not able to create synergy among supporting institutions[1].

The general idea, thus, is to promote the principles of an innovation system in the national level (SINAS) and regional level (SIDA). Innovation system has been empirically proven to significantly contribute on a country’s economical development[2]. Therefore, the challenge for the government & the political people is to understand how the innovation system works, especially in the context of Indonesia. The knowledge exists, but the critical mass of decision makers who understand does not.

We cordially invite interested decision makers from national and regional level to join our national training 2010 on innovation system. Please visit the links below for details:
