    Working Together for Better Health and Well-being for All Fifth High-level Meeting of Small Countries Reykjavik, Iceland, 26–27 June 2018 Working Together for Better Health and Well-being for All Fifth High-level Meeting of Small Countries Reykjavik, Iceland, 26–27 June 2018 Abstract The Small Countries Initiative was established in 2013, and has developed into a platform through which the eight Member States in the WHO European Region with populations of less than 1 million – Andorra, Cyprus, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro and San Marino – share their experiences in implementing Health 2020, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals and the WHO European roadmap to implement the 2030 Agenda. Members meet yearly to take stock of their progress, experience and challenges in improving population health and reducing health inequities. Fully resonating with the very essence of both Health 2020 and the 2030 Agenda, the Fifth High-level Meeting of the Small Countries, with the theme of working together for better health and well-being for all, addressed a technical agenda informed by the latest European and global events, positioning the Initiative as a unique, forward-thinking platform.

    Technological Innovation Policy in China: The Lessons, and the Necessary Changes Ahead Xiaolan Fu Technology and Management Centre for Development Department of International Development, University of Oxford [email protected] Wing Thye Woo Department of Economics, University of California, Davis Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia, Sunway University School of Economics, Fudan University [email protected] Jun Hou Technology and Management Centre for Development Department of International Development, University of Oxford [email protected] 29 February 2016 Abstract China has now moved considerably away from being an imitative latecomer to technology toward to being an innovation-driven economy. The key lessons from China’s experience are that (1) there is synergy between External Knowledge and Indigenous Innovation because the process of learning the tacit knowledge required in using the foreign technology fully is made easier by strong in-house R&D capability; (2) the open innovation approach is very important because it allows multiple driving forces -- the state, the private sector and MNEs – with each playing a changing role over time; and (3) the commencement of foreign technology transfer and investment in indigenous innovation should go hand in hand. Without the numerous well- funded programs to build up the innovation infrastructure to increase the absorptive capacity of Chinese firms, foreign technology would have remained static technology embedded in imported machines and would not have strengthened indigenous technological capability. However, China could still end up in the middle-income trap, unless it undertakes a series of critical reforms in its innovation regime in order to keep moving up growth trajectories that are increasingly skill-intensive and technology-intensive.
