Summary/Abstract: Business support organization’s positive influence on R&D seems so obvious, but it’s thought to find the systemic research that confirms such phenomenon form the one side. Author didn’t find the papers with specific statistical interaction between them also. The main aim of the paper is to evaluate the systemic impact the business support organizations on R&D activity in SME’s in Poland. The positive feedback from the statistical multiregression logit models shows us homogeneity of the country system from the one side and heterogeneity from the other that flows from these interactions. The impact of the BSO units were statistical significant, strong and positive in most cases, excluding one exception. This might be the important thing for building the more appropriate and effective innovation policy for SME’s. The research was conducted for the years 2013–17 on a group of 5992 industrial companies in Poland.
