The Sub-regional Innovation Policy Outlook 2020: Eastern Europe and South Caucasus (IPO) is a pilot United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) flagship publication.
The IPO supports the EESC sub-region (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine) through a concerted, systematic and comprehensive assessment and comparison of the scope, quality, and effectiveness of innovation policies, institutions and processes across countries with shared economic, structural, legacy and institutional features. The IPO complements international composite indices measuring innovation inputs, outputs and performance by looking more closely at the role that policies and institutions play in promoting innovation.
Separate country chapters are published for all countries covered by the IPO together with an introductory and summary chapter, a sub-regional analysis and a collection of country snaphots.
