Published purpose

Drawing on innovation studies literature, and on quasi-experimental methodologies, this research pilots a horizontal impact assessment approach that involves multiple business innovation and growth support (BIGS) programs. The project will employ the newly constructed BIGS programs’ longitudinal data series at the firm level. It is performing, in part, a proof of concept pilot of the value of this novel data series for evidence-based analysis of the impacts of BIGS support programs.
