The paperpresents a picture of innovation centre system in Poland and proposes aframework to identify and evaluate costs and benefits of innovation centrein the local context. The framework takes into consideration efficiency andeffectiveness of the different forms of innovation centres and their directand indirect local effects. The analysis shows that the impact of theinnovation centre on the local economy depends on the type of theinnovation centre and characteristics of the local economy, and short andlong term external effects should be taken into account.
