    The document summarizes a study on barriers to innovation in Macedonia's non-wood forest product (NWFP) sector. Through interviews with 36 company owners, the study identified three main barriers: institutions, with an inadequate legal framework and overlapping ministries; information, with a lack of informational resources; and informality, with irregular business practices. It recommends focusing on improving institutions through clearer rules, enhancing information sharing, providing financial instruments, and better integrating innovation and start-ups into sector policies to help realize the sector's potential for innovation.
