Policy-makers'decision to restrict the allocation of the Fund's resources to Central Hungary was explained with the fact that innovative stakeholders in convergence regions were entitled to more diversified sources of support from EU Structural Funds than stakeholders in Central Hungary.
Partly as a result of extensive lobbying by the regional stakeholders in 2013, government policy-makers decided to launch some new support programmes financed from the Research and Technological Innovation Fund,
and make national innovation support available also for stakeholders in convergence regions. 11 The aim of the new initiatives was to compensate large companies that are net contributors to the Fund.

According to the interviewed regional innovation policy stakeholder, this biased allocation of funding is neither fair, nor logical.

The interviewed innovation policy stakeholders were not optimistic with respect to future opportunities. On the one hand, the institutional instability that characterises the regional and the national innovation systems effectively curtails long-term investments in linkages building.
The political legitimacy and hence, the credibility of past important regional innovation stakeholders has vanished with institutional transformations and due to the lack of financing.
Over the 2007 2013 programming period, EU Structural Funds provided nonnegligible incentives that effectively stimulated the implementation of some relatively disadvantaged stakeholders'(small, undercapitalised enterprises')innovative ideas.
These incentives will vanish for the majority of innovative stakeholders. Only relatively large and well-capitalised actors will be able to apply for support of their innovative ideas
