“…These systems comprise a multitude of institutions, networks, and interrelationships. The corresponding set of interrelated economic and institutional agents affects both innovation performance and innovation behavior (Freeman, 1987;Lundvall, 1992;Nelson 1993;López-Rubio et al, 2021a). This interaction between firms and institutions plays a central role in the launch and marketing of new products, processes, and organizational forms for economic use (Mytelka, 2000).…”

Countries adopt different policies and strategies to boost regional growth and competitiveness. R&D is one of the most important drivers of national competitiveness because of its ability to generate knowledge and convert that knowledge into useful information to improve people’s lives and maintain economic prosperity. Innovation emerges within innovation systems. Such systems encourage collaboration among institutional and economic agents. One of the main groups of agents that foster such collaboration consists of innovation intermediaries. Technology centers (TCs) are a prime example of such intermediaries, which exert a positive impact on the business sector. Given the numerous factors influencing TC efficiency, this paper studies the key variables associated with this efficiency, providing a ranking of these variables based on the views of innovation system experts. To evaluate these variables, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used. Of the six areas identified as essential for TC activity, the impact of TCs and the types of actions they undertake are the most important aspects for improving TC and business efficiency, as well as regional competitiveness. This study highlights the role of TCs in helping companies respond to challenges with innovative solutions that foster a strong, competitive, and innovative regional business sector.

“…The aim was to identify the keywords for each of the major blocks. This analysis helps explain the current state of research in this area because it shows the links between topics graphically and in such a way that they can be easily identified (Callon et al, 1983;López-Rubio et al, 2021a). Second, co-citation analysis was conducted.…”

“…The aim of the strategy is to boost competitiveness and sustainable development (Thissen et al, 2013;Aiginger & Firgo, 2017), creating employment and wealth within the EU (Arundel & Kemp, 2009). Therefore, within the EU, public administrations have adopted eco-innovation in their innovation systems (López-Rubio et al, 2021a).…”

This thesis has six chapters. Chapter 1 contextualizes the research, objectives, methodologies, and structure. Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 describe the four studies that together form the core of the thesis. Three of these studies have been published in international journals, two of which are indexed in the Journal Citations Report (JCR) and one of which is indexed in the Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR). Each chapter addresses one or more of the specific objectives in an attempt to meet the general objective. Chapter 6 offers concluding remarks, limitations, and future research avenues to build on this thesis.Chapter 2, "Innovation facilitators and sustainable development: a country comparative approach", was published in Environment, Development and Sustainability (Springer; JCR Q2 and SJR Q1, 2022). It focuses on determining the relationship between innovation facilitators and sustainable development in terms
