Abstract

Countries worldwide implement mission-oriented innovation policies to address contemporary challenges. However, how the understanding of ‘missions’ differs across countries remains unclear. We distinguish between traditional, narrowly focused missions, and newer, wider, and multiple stakeholder-based missions. Mapping MOIPs in 39 countries reveals a growing popularity of wider missions, though narrow missions persist. We identify distinct mission profiles for different countries with varying foci and understandings of MOIPs. In-depth analyses of selected countries suggest linkages between national innovation systems and mission designs.
