Turning challenges into opportunities? Implementing transformative innovation policies in Nordic industrial regions
通过政策审查和访谈，研究了北欧三个工业地区如何设计和实施变革性创新政策，发现区域创新系统特征和国家背景影响治理任务，而将全球挑战转化为区域机遇的雄心是动员利益相关者的核心动力。
It remains unclear how transformative innovation policies can be implemented across various regional contexts. Through policy review, interviews and focus group interviews with key actors, this paper investigates industrial regions’ design and implementation of transformative innovation policies in three Nordic countries. We find that the characteristics of the regional innovation system, unique to industrial regions, along with their national context, impact the governance tasks required for designing and implementing transformative innovation policy in the three regions. The ambition to turn global challenges into regional opportunities is a core incentive for mobilising stakeholders, resolving conflicts, and creating legitimacy.
