Digitisation and globalisation drive change, and convergence towards
digital services is speeding up. For regions and cities this means:
- Innovation communities operate as ecosystems through
systemic value networking in a world without borders.
- Innovation processes are strongly based on demand and
user orientation and customers as crucial players in
innovations.
- Innovation strategies focus on catalysing open innovation
and encouraging individuals and communities towards an
entrepreneurial mindset and effective use and creation of
new digitalised services.
- Innovation is often based on experimenting and
implementing demonstration projects by
partnerships, using the best international knowledge and
creating new innovative concepts.
