CONCORDi-2013 will focus on the financial strategies, drivers and barriers affecting the link between the innovation and growth of European companies. The financing of firms’ R&D and innovation will be dealt with from two main perspectives: the firms’ access to external sources of finance and the strategic use of internal sources.

The Conference will focus on three main topics with respect to financing R&D and innovation for firms’ growth:
– Financial sources and constraints
– Financial strategies and determinants
– Public policies, policy means and financing facilitators.
