On the basis of the review of the national innovation systems and the analysis of the meaning of cooperation in the technological field, we study the cooperative model as a trend towards new types of relations within the national innovation systems.
The evolution of the traditional Science and Technology System towards a National Innovation System integrated into socioeconomic life has highlighted the growing need to encourage and develop the interactions among those participating in the innovation process.
The importance of linking the scientific and technological activity of universities and research centres more closely with industry is considered to be a key element for the economic and technological growth of countries which make the innovation processes possible within an economy. The National Innovation System -or science-technology industry system- is an institutional organization scheme which encompasses different capacities.
As we have seen, the interaction among organizations, due to the multiplicity of participating agents, constitutes one of the key aspects not only in the study of the innovation processes, but also in the way that these are carried out by the companies, and also within the framework of the National Innovation Systems. The interrelation between economic agents, leads on the one hand to the fulfillment of the objective of seeking economic efficiency in the transaction.
In the construction of National Innovation Systems based on cooperation, the Public Administration must carry out, apart from the traditional duties involving the generation of infrastructure and the promotion of innovation. An important task as promoter and manager of agreements with the aim of establishing a network of relations through cooperation which enables the different types of information, knowledge and skills which support the innovation processes to flow between the different economic and social agent.
