Why Umbria’s RUICS?
To create and develop an analytical tool for evaluation of
the dynamicity and competitiveness of the Region’s
economy, in keeping with the Lisbon policy
To create a system of indicators designed to measure the
competitive benchmarking of the Umbria Region

The creation of RUICS
The creation of this instrument is based on those models
elaborated by diverse international research centres using
specific indicators (benchmarks) designed to measure such
phenomena. The most well-known of these are:
•The European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) elaborated by
the EU Commission;
•The Growth Competitiveness Index (GCI) elaborated by
the WEF (World Economic Forum) of Geneva, organiser of the
annual Davos Forum;
•The “World Competitiveness Yearbook” elaborated by the
International Institute for Management Development in
Lausanne.

What’s Umbria’s RUICS
 It’s a broader, more original evaluative tool that,
based on the EIS methodology and “philosophy”,
proves capable of describing and measuring not only
Umbria’s innovative potential, but also its competitive
capacity
 It’s a “pilot” scheme designed to provide a useful
instrument for the evaluation and analysis of vitally
important questions pertaining to development in
Umbria
 It’s an usefull instrument to compare Umbria’s
performanceses with other Regions, UE and to
analyze their evolution in the future.

Umbria’s RUICS results
Umbria ranks 12th in the Italian regional table. This position reflects:
• A considerable capacity to educate and train workers capable of
developing and applying innovation, compared with the national
average
• Substantial public expenditure on R&D
• A high percentage of innovative small/medium-sized manufacturing
companies
• The lack of any particular propensity towards financial, product and
market innovation
• A rather mediocre rate of economic growth
• Low private spending on R&D and a low level of R&D productivity (as
indicated by the low number of patents granted)
• Low spending on innovation in the manufacturing sector
• Limited openness towards the outside world, with the exception of
the rate of coverage of sales of high-tech goods
