The underlying premise is that innovation can contribute not only to technological development and economic growth, but also to transforming the way people, organizations, and technology interact to address global challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anthology <em>Research Handbook on Regions and Transformative Innovation Policy<\/em> focuses on how regions develop and adapt various innovation strategies to address complex societal challenges. The book\u2019s editors argue that the regional perspective has received too little attention in research and therefore seek to highlight how regions develop and implement transformative innovation policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book\u2019s 26 chapters include both conceptual overviews and case studies from different parts of the world. The theoretical chapters provide a foundation for understanding transformative innovation policy, while case studies from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Africa offer insights into how different regions are working to address global challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recurring theme in the book is the importance of understanding and taking local conditions into account. An initiative that works in a large city may not yield the same results in a smaller city or region and may, in some cases, even fail. The book thus highlights the need for diverse policy solutions, rather than the notion that a single model will work everywhere.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book is intended for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transformative innovation policy has taken on an increasingly prominent role in recent years.
