National Innovation System in Macedonia: A Critical Review

Summary/Abstract: After a period of radical economic and political reforms, Macedonia makes certain efforts to consolidate the economic processes and provide a more dynamic economic growth. This is an approach that includes new strategic directions and sets an ambitious target for the country to achieve higher level of convergence with the processes of developed countries. Given that development of the science, technology and innovation (STI) are considered driving forces of the economic progress, Macedonia strives to respect such trends and incorporate them into different policies and strategies. The new strategic framework provides for developing a stimulating environment and conditions as regards the STI. Hence, this paper is to offer a critical review of the current processes in this domain. SWOT analysis is therefore going to be implemented so as to present the strengths, weaknesses, but also the opportunities and threats of the innovation system.
