Addressing a much larger part of the business sector would inevitably involve nurturing the accumulation of a wide range of in-house innovation capabilities in firms, including in R&D, but also in engineering, design, IT and marketing (Bell, 2009), which would require a much wider range of policy instruments and a different approach and mindset. The BlOCentre project (funded under the Regional Competitiveness Operational Programme 2007-2011) is somewhat of an exception within BICRO's portfolio, in terms of the wide range of services offered, though the focus on the research-intensive end of the spectrum of possible innovation modes is evident there too. Moreover, BICRO appears well respected, especially by the business sector.
