Outline of the innovation potential of
Lubelskie Region
• Although the Lubelskie Region belongs to one of the poorest in the
enlarged European Union, with only 27% of the average UE GDP
per capita, it possesses a lot of potential to improve its competitive
and innovative position in Europe.
• One of such development assets is undoubtedly high level of
business activity and rapidly growing sector of small and mediumsize companies. (120 000)
• Even though majority of companies operate in traditional (medium
and low-technology), they show high potential for
further development by improving their quality and
innovation level.
Outline of the innovation potential of
Lubelskie Region
• The region has a well developed educational and R+D base. It
consists of 5 Universities (Maria Curie-Skłodowska University,
University of Agriculture, University of Technology, Medical Academy
and Catholic University). The higher education schools provide tuition
to 90 000 students within a framework of variety of courses and
programmes (37% of them are science and engineering courses).
• The R+D infrastructure comprises 33 research and development
units, attached either to universities or operating as independent
research institutes. The R+D sector employs almost 4000 people, but
it tends to have little impact on the development of the
regional economy, as only a small percentage of
researches (5%) are believed to be actually involved in
direct co-operation with industry.
Weakness of regional economy
• Ailing system of financing R+D in Poland
• The long tradition of researches being involved only in basic research
work, with almost no reference to practical applications of the scientific
results in industry.
• Lack of partnership between business and academia
• Poor information network and access to supply of innovations
• Need of effective tools for transferring information to the target groups
• Innovation offer inadequate to business’ demands
• Low patent activity
• Poor supply of locally selected and up-to-date business information
• Low competitiveness of regional business
• Limited access to low cost credit
• Poor investment and promotion activities
