Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic-related direct public support mechanisms have received more attention than previously and budgets for SME subsidies have skyrocketed around the globe. Currently, most support measures focus on short-term liquidity needs. However, policy makers have already started thinking about which role subsidies should play in the renewal of the economic structure once the pandemic dust has settled. The pandemic offers a good opportunity to restructure a company support system taking into account the structural barriers that innovation support systems have been subject to over the last decade. The aim of the analysis in this paper is threefold: (1) to map the barriers to innovation support, (2) to offer policy makers and SME support agencies a set of solutions to overcome these barriers and (3) to re-interpret these results against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic that started to unravel shortly after finalising the set of research interviews.
关于公共创新支持中小企业的结构性障碍以及COVID-19为克服这些障碍提供的机会
与新冠肺炎疫情相关的公共直接支持机制受到前所未有的关注,全球对中小企业的补贴预算大幅增加。目前,大多数支持措施侧重于短期流动性需求。然而,政策制定者已经开始思考,一旦疫情尘埃落定,补贴应该在经济结构的更新中发挥何种作用。考虑到创新支持系统在过去十年中遇到的结构性障碍,此次大流行为重组公司支持系统提供了一个很好的机会。本文分析的目的有三个:(1)绘制支持创新的障碍,(2)为政策制定者和中小企业支持机构提供一套克服这些障碍的解决方案,以及(3)在完成一系列研究访谈后不久开始解开的COVID-19大流行背景下重新解释这些结果。
