New Paper Explores the ‘Pull’ of Innovation Across EU Regions
Posted: 2012-04-27 | Updated: 2012-05-15
The shift toward demand-side innovation policies is the focus of our third thematic paper for the EU’s Regional Innovation Monitor. These policies include public procurement, subsidies for eco-innovation, and support for ‘living-labs’, i.e. local playgrounds for user-driven innovation. According to our analysis, these approaches help explain innovation needs while addressing the many modern challenges facing our societies. They do so by prioritizing interaction with users and improving the roll out of innovation in regions that are still ‘catching up’ with the mainstream.
