Hence, if the country wants to be competitive in comparison to other economies in Europe and in the world, it is indispensable to pursue a more effective innovation policy. However, the innovativeness level of particular Polish regions is diversified. Despite very high outlays on innovations (both total and per 1 enterprise), the companies from the Lodz Voivodeship reside the less innovative in the country. What is worse, their cooperation with external entities and a generous support of public funds do not result in sufficient increase of their innovativeness level. The firms from the Lodz Province are also characterized by low income arising from the sale of innovative products and a low percentage of them has introduced any innovative solutions encompassed product, process, marketing and organizational innovations.

R&D activity has a positive impact on the development of regions and it might be the example illustrating successful cooperation between science and business. Scientific units and R&D institutions are becoming increasingly more open to the business sector and more often adapt their offer to the specific needs of companies.
