The way firm innovate and the nature of their contributions to innovation varies and depends critically on firm characteristics and the conditions they face to engage in innovation. The “technology push” and “market pull” models provide two perspectives on firm innovation.

Specific rationales for public policies: access to finance, access to knowledge, access to labor, entrepreneurial capabilities and culture, market development and access, regulatory framework.
Access to finance is a key driver in the creation, survival and growth of innovative new ventures.
