Version of Record

This second part of the report deals with promotion policies for the technological innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises exemplified in the activities of Zentrum fur Innovation und Technik in Nordrhein-Westfalen (ZENIT) GmbH, which is located in Mühlheim in the Ruhr area. This report also introduces promotion policies for the start-ups in the cases of Gründer- und Technologiezentrum Solingen GmbH (GuT Solingen) and Aachener Gesellschaft fur Innovation und Technologietransfer mbH (AGIT). ZENIT is an organization for the public-private-partnership for the innovation of SMEs and structural reorganization of the regional industry. It is one of the most successful Innovation Relay Centers, which are distributed all over Europe. AGIT is well known for its successful activity. It supports many entrepreneurs, who graduated the Technical University of Aachen, and some of them have grown to middle-sized enterprises. GuT Solingen is younger than those two organizations. It is striving to improve the competitiveness of the young enterprises by means of the hard coaching before their start up. These organizations are good examples of public-private-partnership, which is the principle of promotion policies in North Rhine-Westphalia. They play an important role in the networking of various actors in the respective local area and in the inter-local networking. It is, however, necessary to investigate further in order to judge if the other cases of public-private-partnership in North Rhine-Westphalia are successful and if the industrial clusters are really sustainable by means of networking of local actors as well as inter-local networking.
