Innovation Systems in Economic Development by Paul Benneworthppibelanda
This document discusses innovation systems and economic development. It begins by noting the importance of innovation and knowledge exchange for economic growth, and how this requires proximity between actors. It then examines the concept of innovation communities and how they involve connections between knowledge producers, exploiters, and other actors. The document also analyzes how regions can develop through improving both local and global connectivity between these innovation networks. It proposes that policy focus on identifying sites that can stimulate dynamic innovation networks both within and outside the region.
The document provides an overview of Framework Programme 7 (FP7), the main European Union research and technological development funding programme from 2007-2013. It discusses the various specific programmes, funding schemes, and instruments within FP7. The total budget for FP7 is €32 billion, aimed at supporting trans-national collaboration on research and innovation projects across both private and public sectors.
This document discusses clusters and cluster management. It begins by defining clusters as geographic concentrations of interconnected businesses and institutions in a particular field. It notes clusters are related through buyer-supplier relationships, common technologies, and distribution channels. Clusters provide a learning environment and have close geographic proximity. The document discusses critical dimensions of clusters, why their development is important for policymakers, how government can support cluster development through various policies and programs, and challenges facing clusters from globalization and other factors. It also examines networks within clusters and different models of internationalization for clusters.
Mr. Titley presented the objectives, events, partners and challenges of ERRIN (European Regions Research and Innovation Network).

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

3. Innovation-related collaboration increasingly global
International scientific co-
publications tripling from
7% to 22% over 20 years.
The share of regional co-
patents with foreign
inventors has doubled from
10% to 20% over 30 years.

5. Location
of co-
patenting
partner
But proximity still plays an important role in
collaboration
Over 33% of R&D in the top 10% of large regions; 58% of patents
in the top 10% of small regions
Spatial decay (150-200 km); neighbourhood effects; “cost” of the
border increasing over time

7. Innovation policy to consider actors
operating at different geographic scales
Geographic scales
• Cross-border co-operation
(contiguous areas)
• Trans-national
co-operation
• (macro-regions)
• Inter-regional co-operation
(internationally)
Actors
• SME collaboration more
localised than large firms
• Different university
orientations: global,
national and regional
• Co-location more important
for market-oriented
research impacts, inter-
regional networks for
scientific research (Attila et
al, 2012)

9. Innovating beyond borders:
Why and when to collaborate cross-border
Acting beyond borders • Innovation does not stop at the border
Borders as bridges
Borders
as opportunities
Defining the functional
area
Checking for the right
conditions
• Openness cross-border goes hand-in-hand with better
integration and competitiveness in global networks
• Benefit from proximity, critical mass, complementarity
expertise, greater international attractiveness, etc.
• Data reveal the innovation-relevant “functional” region ≠
administrative region, resulting in variable geometry
• Checklist of ten conditions for a more or less favourable
environment for cross-border regional innovation policy

10. Defining a “functional” cross-border area for
innovation support (can differ by function, technology)

11. Ten conditions favourable to
cross-border collaboration for innovation
Framework conditions
1. Geographic accessibility
2. Socio-cultural proximity
3. Institutional context conditions
4. Cross-border integration
Innovation system conditions
5. Economic specialisation
6. Business innovation model
7. Knowledge infrastructure
8. Innovation system interactions
Governance and policy context
9. Governance
10. Policy mix
Source: OECD (2013); inspired and adapted from Trippl (2009)
Several of these
considerations are relevant
for trans-national and inter-
regional collaboration
efforts
St Petersburg, XIV All-Russian Forum 1119 Oct 2015
12. Governing cross-border collaboration:
Public and private engagement
Raise public interest at
different government levels
• Each level of government (local, regional, national and
even supra-national) has a role to play
Identify overarching vision
Demonstrate mutual
benefit
Governance beyond
government
Private sector
engagement
• Need a common purpose to unify different actions
• Each side of the border will make its own assessment
of the costs and benefits, and its share of these
• Use top-down and bottom-up levers, formal and informal
governance that contribute to long-term relationships of
trust
• Ensure the private sector takes a sufficiently prominent
role
in promoting the cross-border area
St Petersburg, XIV All-Russian Forum 1219 Oct 2015
13. Many innovation instruments used cross-border
Some used on macro-regional / transnational basis
Strategy and policy development R&D support
Analytical exercises and mappings (mapping of
clusters or value chains, technology foresight
exercises)
Joint public research programmes
Benchmarking and policy learning Joint research infrastructure, shared access to
research facilities
Joint branding of the cross-border area Cross-border private R&D funding programmes
(generic and thematic)
Technology transfer and innovation support Educated and skilled workers
Cross-border innovation advisory services
(vouchers, intermediaries)
Scholarships/student exchanges
Advisory services to spin-off and
knowledge-intensive start-ups
Joint university or other higher education
programmes
Other technology transfer centres and extension
programmes
Talent attraction and retention or mobility schemes
Cross-border labour market measures
Science and technology parks and
innovation networks
Other instruments
Cross-border science and technology parks Financing (venture capital funds or angel networks)
Cluster or network initiatives Public procurement/ border as a source of
innovation/ innovation awardsSt Petersburg, XIV All-Russian Forum 1319 Oct 2015
14. Ease of using cross-border instruments
(Based on case study examples)
Easiest to implement
Attempts to allow funds from
one country go to another
(rare exceptions)
Certain innovation projects in
highly regulated sectors
(health, energy)
• Albeit often those areas
have greatest potential for
using border as source of
innovation
International branding efforts
often caught up in political
sensibilities
Mixed results Most challenges observed
Cross-border linkages of firms
with providers (e.g., innovation
vouchers)
Cluster-related support for
areas of common
competencies
Joint prioritised research
Access to shared S&T parks,
scientific installations, joint
centres
Broad-based university
collaborations
• researchers look for
excellence over proximity
• students need right
framework conditions
(diploma recognition,
financing, etc.)
Firm networking and
matchmaking; leading to
collaboration?
Cross-border cluster initiatives
