Variations in innovation strategies for sustainable development: Sustainable innovation policy instrument mixes of ten small OECD countries across five sectors Innovation plays an inevitable role in transforming our current modes of production and consumption towards sustainable development. Yet it is unclear…

🌍 How are nations using innovation policy to tackle sustainability challenges?

Despite growing attention, we still lack a clear picture of the policy mixes countries are using. A new study helps fill that gap 👇

🚀 The concept of innovation missions has become really popular within and beyond the domain of science, technology, and innovation policy. However, the term ‘mission’ is often vaguely used as a shorthand for any reference to societal challenges, directionality, or strategic choices.

#stipolicy

💡In our newly published paper, co-authored with VilleValovirta, we explore how innovation contests can translate societal challenges into local demands for innovation, critical for transformative missions.

A table summarizing governance arrangements in transformative innovation policy (TIP) across three governance modes: administration-based, network-based, and society-based. It lists tasks associated with each mode, such as creating legitimacy and leadership, coordinating across multiple levels, reflexivity, learning and experimenting, and resolving conflicts. Each mode includes specific strategies like showing political commitment, engaging in partnerships, and establishing a vision for urgent problems.

Interesting forthcoming book chapter about alternative governance arrangements for transformative innovation policy
