- Abstract
Nowadays, innovations plays a significant role in strengthening the competitive advantage of regional economies. In this light an innovation policy aimed at supporting innovativeness on this level becomes of crucial importance. The paper aims to determine the spatial distribution of public funds oriented to support innovation from the Operational Programme Innovative Economy in Polish regions (NUTS 2 level). The results of the analysis indicate the significant disparities in the examined field. Moreover, they reveal that the most developed Polish regions were granted the highest public financial support for innovation. This model of allocation enables the most effective spending of public funds by most technologically advanced and developed regions and strengthens their metropolitan functions, but simultaneously may lead to an increase of the innovation and development disparities in the Polish regional context.
