Notebook number 3 of the Pacte Industrial: “Indicadors, infraestructures i serveis d’Innovació”
The study, carried out with the collaboration and sponsorship of CIDEM, analyses the situation of the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona as regards the main indicators on the subject of innovation, and it studies, as a whole, the range of infrastructure and services available in this field.
This first analysis of the existing infrastructure allows the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona’s situation to be compared, for the first time, with other areas at a European level. Furthermore, it allows the agents and institutions that are working in the area of innovation in the Metropolitan Region to be identified, with names and surnames.
