Infos

This insightful Research Handbook explores how regions across the world are rethinking and employing innovation to tackle emerging contemporary challenges. Drawing on transformative innovation policy (TIP), leading scholars demonstrate how innovation can be reoriented away from its exclusive focus on technology and competitiveness, and instead adopt a broader role as a strategic tool for guiding societies towards greener, more inclusive and resilient futures - without abandoning economic competitiveness.By analysing diverse global case studies, from Europe’s smart specialisation strategies to grassroots experiments in Latin America, state led initiatives in Asia and civic partnerships in North America, contributing authors outline the successes and obstacles in aligning innovation with societal needs. Chapters integrate theory and practice, combining cutting-edge conceptual advances with concrete policy experiences of implementing regional TIP. While paths to progress differ widely, this Research Handbook emphasises the universal importance of inclusive governance, long-term commitment and the willingness to experiment.

The Research Handbook on Regions and Transformative Innovation Policy is highly beneficial for scholars and students of economic geography, innovation studies, regional policy and development economics. It is equally relevant to policymakers and administrators in regional development agencies, international organisations and NGOs seeking practical insights into governance, inclusiveness and policy experimentation.
