The relationship between Innovation System and participation in local, regional and global value chains is complex. Whether innovation capability acts as ‘enabler’ to enter and participate in value chains or entering the value chains provides ‘window of opportunity’ to accumulate the innovation capabilities? This issue that is of greater concern for laggard countries in Global South that aspires to grow and sustain in the contemporary globalized world. Subsequent it is also important to examine the impact of both stronger innovation systems and participation in value chains on gainful employment opportunities and the environmental sustainability. These are some aspects that will be discussed in the session along with understanding the challenges of greening the value chains for both incumbents and latecomer countries.
