Knowledge and new technologies, and thus the innovation created based on them, determine the development opportunities of countries, regions and enterprises. Innovation built on the basis of human resources and their knowledge (and all activities aimed at its development) define the competitive position of the indicated entities and their place on the map of knowledge-based economies.
The aim of the article was to analyse Poland’s innovative profile against the background of EU countries, based on the latest data. To achieve this goal, first of all, the total Summary Innovation Index (SII) was decomposed and the indicators and data taken into account when determining the level of innovation in individual countries and the entire EU were presented. Then, the considerations focused on the dimensions in which Poland has achieved the most favourable results in recent years, i.e. closest to the EU average, as well as those in which there are the greatest delays. The basis for the research process, during which the method of graphical data presentation and analysis with elements of comparison was used, is the data contained in the European Innovation Scoreboards (EIS) during years 2016-2023.
This article is an extension of the study submitted for publication, entitled: “Study of the level of innovation in the European Union - Poland compared to the leading countries”. It is an attempt to answer the questions: where is the Polish economy located on the innovation map of the European Union?, what dimensions of innovation have a positive impact on its innovative position, and in which areas do they differ significantly from the EU average? It has cognitive value for the development of knowledge, science, and further improvement of the level of innovation in Poland, thanks to highlighting problem areas and sources of innovative advantage of the innovation leader countries.
