Policies for innovation can directly target the innovation process, support the innovation system, or unintentionally impact innovation while targeting an unrelated concern. Clear, stable, and consistent expectations about the direction and shape of the innovation system are necessary for innovators to commit time, money, and effort with only the uncertain promise of distant returns. To date, policy support for the innovation system has been characterized by volatility, changes in emphasis, and a lack of clarity. The Global Energy Assessment provides policymakers with solid facts for grounding new policies.
