Titans and Tigers. Biomedicine and Innovation Systems in China, India, USA, Ireland, Denmark and Finland

Titans and Tigers gives a thoroughly researched account and assessment of the ongoing dynamics in these three large countries, with a special emphasis on biomedicine.

Smaller countries are compelled to respond to the overall course of events. Their success is contingent upon identifying and addressing a myriad of challenges and turning them into opportunities for growth. This demands deliberate and strategic action by their respective governments.

The book elucidates the current policies and processes in three small countries where governments and Prime Ministers have acted with particular energy and foresight: Ireland, Denmark and Finland. There are important lessons to be learned for a country like Sweden.

Titans and Tigers is published within the framework of the SNS project on competitiveness and the future of the Swedish biomedical sector. The project has been supported by an eminently qualified reference group, led by Mr Michael Sohlman, the Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation. A special grant has been provided by Vinnova, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems.
