Abstract

The French Competitiveness clusters policy notably entails the financing of collaborative projects. This gives rise to a particular approach to open innovation that mainly relies on the co-construction and sharing of a resource common to stakeholders. This may entail a questioning of current innovation practices, thus giving rise to new constraints and opportunities leading firms to reconsider their business model. However, internal and external constraints may impede their evolution. Competitiveness clusters' governance bodies act as innovation intermediaries playing a central role in releasing stakeholders from those impediments.
