11. Vision
Joseph Schumpeter “Neue Kombinationen” is innovation across different
industries, inspired and supported by the creative sector
Shift happens
And when it happens it’s not the way you planned

12. Context is king
The grand societal challenges from the Lund-declaration as starting and
inspiring point for thinking about possible innovations leading to a more
integral approach to innovation
Innovation is not grown in a greenhouse
It evolves in an ecosystem

13. Creative value
A plan for innovation frameworks that views innovation not as a linear
develpment process aimed at exploiting technology but merely as a
cooperation between people and organizations with different background
and skills
Being specialized is good
Being special is way better

14. Exploration
National and regional innovation prolicies, often organized along
departmental lines, don’t get it: radical innovation is a cross-boundary
exploration
Boundaries need defence
Frontiers need pioneers

A list of examples and cases that illustrate this “new” way of looking at
innovation and its implications for local and regional governments
From vision to action
through connection
