Abstract

Although innovation is a key factor for the survival of enterprises, its situation in Spain is still far from the objectives set by the Lisbon Strategy. As a consequence the Spanish public administrations have launched various measures to improve it. Innovation requires acquiring and selecting the best information available, which means mainly using scientific and technical databases, but they are little known in the business environment. The article gives a brief overview of the use of information for innovation in enterprises and comments on the main findings of 2008 Cotec Report
