Innovation and technological capacity is fundamental to diversifying and upgrading product lines, but this capacity is still under-developed in much of East Asia. With the exception of Japan and Korea, most East Asian countries are struggling to develop the innovation potential of their higher education system. Governments across the region are devising strategies to support research centers and universities are offering specialized studies.
However, much more remains to be done in building partnerships between governments, universities, and industry to support applied research and technology transfer that meets R&D needs. According to the international ranking compiled by Webometrics, only China manages to have one university within the top 200 universities, and only China, Thailand and Korea make it to the top 500 with at least two of their universities.
Supporting higher enrollment in hard sciences and Ph.D.-level research, and developing skills for innovation such as creative thinking, are additional ways to grow innovation. Case studies are taking a closer look at where the innovation-related gaps are, with special attention to the advantages and disadvantages of a supply vs. demand approach.
