Nowadays the dynamics of economic development is no longer determined exclusively by traditional resources, such as natural wealth, capital and the classical industrial and agricultural branches, but increasingly by high technology-based industries. The high-tech component has become a crucial source of competitiveness and value added in practically all the branches of national economy. At the same time, enterprises focusing on high technologies and application of high technologies in enterprises of traditional industries can develop only in an innovations-friendly economic environment supporting innovative efforts, i.e., in a country that is consistently implementing a national policy for developing innovations and having an effectively operating national innovations system.
