Abstract
This paper presents a multiple case study research, which aims to develop a better understanding into how policy makers can facilitate acceleration of R&D and innovation in manufacturing SMEs. The results demonstrate that low perception of value of R&D projects, risk of failure and a lack of networking are identified as the key barriers. The research results suggest that a low perception of value of R&D and innovation is largely a symptom of those barriers. In order to overcome these barriers, manufacturing SMEs need support to access to the customer needs, de-risk R&D and innovation projects and be informed about available funding through simplified communication mechanisms.
