  42. INVENTORY MAIN FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC INSTRUMENTS FOR INNOVATION AND ECO-INNOVATION IN ANDALUSIA Central Government (38%), Regional (59%) and Local (3%). In a similar fashion, 18 of the instruments are co-funded by one or more government administrations, with most co-funded through European funds (ERDF, European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund). Source of funds

  46. MAIN CONCLUSIONS DERIVED FROM PRE-ANDALUSIA

  47. MAIN CONCLUSIONS DERIVED FROM PRE-ANDALUSIA All the stakeholders represented at PRE agreed on Difficulty to obtain precise knowledge on the existing promotion instruments Difficulty to manage the large volume of information Poor knowledge of all these instruments is the first major barrier in planning and R&D&I process Knowing, processing and appraising all the information sometimes becomes an almost unsurpassable difficulty for most firms Even some of the leading firms represented at the platform failed to know almost 50% of the instruments included in the regional inventory. Administrative management become an additional burden

  48. MAIN CONCLUSIONS DERIVED FROM PRE-ANDALUSIA As first results To reinforce the dissemination of information by public administrations and private agents, such as business associations. Additionally, it was also considered necessary to guarantee the coordination of the different dissemination mechanisms To coordinate and simplify information mechanisms, as well as to increase the resources allocated to information and dissemination of existing instruments. With regards to these barriers and difficulties, PRE-ANDALUCIA members point out that an important achievement would be: establishing a visible and clearly defined agent to be addressed for all questions on instruments and proceeding

  49. MAIN CONCLUSIONS DERIVED FROM PRE-ANDALUSIA As first results, firms represented at PRE declared that Instruments or economic resources allocated to the experimentation and pilot plant construction stages are insufficient (from a business perspective the instruments supporting just the initial innovation and development stages are not sufficient) Signals in prices by means of economic grants or subsidies are still necessary
