Abstract

The innovative potential of a nation is determined by its members’ creative capacity, as well as by the design and implementation of strategies and policies that are meant to support the devise, experimentation and application of new ideas, respectively the transformation thereof both into tangible goods (products and services) and intangible ones (knowledge).

The final part of the paper illustrates the essential role of universities in developing knowledge-based and innovation-based society.
