Abstract: Public innovation support claims to reach out to firms facing barriers hindering them from innovating, especially smaller firms. Earlier studies showed that governmental programmes do not fulfil those aims. But the distinctions between different political levels introducing programmes were rarely analysed. The authors’ empirical evidence from Germany and Europe shows that regional programmes and decentralised structures reach smaller companies better than national or European level programmes. Empirical evidence on the effectiveness of public support from different levels is less clear. Policy makers have to consider a trade-off between a bigger variety of firms receiving support and the reduced effectiveness of public support.
