Strengths of BSI

Diversity: entrepreneurship support infrastructure in Poland consists of different types of innovation and entrepreneurship entities;

Substantial contribution: an increasing role of support infrastructure in the process of the Polish economy innovation development;

Independence of institutions in their activities and the ability to quickly respond to the entrepreneurs needs.

Weaknesses of BSI

Disintegration of different levels of support (not effective cooperation central – region);

Poor co-operation with other entities of regional innovation systems, including business environment institutions;

Large rotation of professional staff, the centres need constant support in raising qualifications. Weak commercialization competencies;

Financing instability.
