How does innovation spreads into the market? What is the role of networks in promoting innovation? Which impact do European and national policy measures have on innovation? This handbook gives an overview over innovation in the transport sector related to SMEs in the sectors of public transport, freight and logistics. Very important for success and sustainability of innovations are policy measures, e. g. law, regulation and guidelines. Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum as coordinator of the EU project POSMETRANS has analysed the situation of SMEs in the transport sector. The results from the POSMETRANS survey show that laws and regulations result to be the measures, which mostly influence the innovation processes. This handbook presents an insight into the whole transport sector and the problems of SMEs concerning EU funding programmes, networks and policy measures. As a core result several recommendations have been elaborated and are presented in this handbook. The partners of the POSMETRANS project expect that the recommendations will be helpful for policy makers to improve the capability of SMEs in the whole transport sector.
