Abstract(s)
Portuguese strategic choices on innovation and R&D have led, over the past two
decades, to an improved situation of positive achievements, in which the regions of
Lisbon and Algarve have taken the lead and are the only ones in the country to converge
towards the European average growth rate. Regarding the other Portuguese regions –
despite significant national growth rates in the 1990s as well as a successful attempt to
cope with the EMU –, these are lagging behind the EU average in what concerns gross
production, investment or employment generation. Meanwhile, one of the greatest
public policy efforts was to diffuse much of the European funds across the
entrepreneurial tissue. After a long pathway, it is now timely to evaluate the firms’
contribution to national and regional growth, their obstacles and impacts.
