openness of the SMEs, it would see its relative position in Europe penalised by 8 positions, moving to position 169.

Murcia Region is the tenth Spanish region in re- lation to the RIS index offered by the European Commission. According to this index, it would rank 161nd out of 240 European regions. The robust ranking proposal set out in this doc- ument allows Murcia Region is to improve its relative position by 35 places, rising to 126th in the European ranking. However, Murcia is un - doubtedly one of the Spanish regions that will benefit most from the document’s proposed efficiency ranking, since, from this perspective, it would take 49th place in the ranking thanks to it being one of the European regions with the highest number of trademark applications. In terms of bottlenecks, the variable that most constrains the performance of the regional in- novation system in Murcia Region is the num- ber of information technology specialists. This bottleneck penalises its performance by 12.4 %. However, If it were not for this bottleneck, it would maintain practically the same relative position, moving to 156th in the European rank- ing, since it has other bottlenecks of practically the same magnitude, meaning it therefore requires interventions in several deficiencies at the same time. Murcia Region is one of the Spanish regions in which open innovation (i.e. the need to improve the system’s articulation capacity) represents a significant bottleneck. If the indicators in Murcia Region’s RIS index were to be penalised according to the value shown by the degree of

Navarre is the fourth Spanish region in relation to the RIS index offered by the European Com- mission. According to this index, it would rank 112th out of 240 European regions. The robust ranking proposal set out in this document allows Navarre to improve its rela- tive position by 53 places, rising to 59th in the European ranking. However, the document’s proposed efficiency ranking penalises Navarre, worsening its relative position by 94 places, dropping to 206th in the European ranking. In terms of bottlenecks, the variable that most constrains the performance of the regional innovation system in Navarre is the number of innovation product or process companies. This bottleneck penalises its performance by 7.7 %. In the absence of such a bottleneck, it could move up to 94th position in the European ranking, improving 18 positions. It is not observed that open innovation (i.e. the need to improve the system’s articulation capacity) represents a significant bottleneck for Navarre.
