Abstract

This chapter reports on advances in regional innovation practice. Regional innovation has become a maturing field of economic governance. Regions have become more prominent actors in the innovation field in the past decade. Innovation is widely seen by supranational, national and regional governance bodies and agencies as a mainspring of improved regional economic performance and wellbeing. Leading regional innovation practitioners are increasingly being understood as catalysts of innovation, a development in their earlier role as being supporter or partner in innovation essentially conducted by others. One technique this chapter devotes attention to where regional ‘orchestration’ of innovation occurs is the use of narrative, drama and non-scientific laboratory experimentation to open business and community minds to the constructed regional advantages of innovation. The theoretical context is ‘post-cluster’ hence platform-minded and using matrix models to induce innovation through stimulating cross-cluster ‘transversality’.
