讲座摘要：
Innovation is a global challenge. With few exceptions the global economy suffers from lack of economic growth. Innovation is the only sustainable strategy for promoting competitiveness and economic growth. Innovation cannot be left to firms, the market or the public sector alone but requires an organised approach where all important stakeholders (firms, universities and public sector) collaborate. Innovation policy, thus, plays a strategic role in promoting economic growth. Innovation policy has to secure path extension (positive lock-in) as well as stimulating new path development (path renewal and path creation). Swedish regional innovation policy will be used as an illustrative example.
