Actors of innovation
Innovation is driven by a number of players. Within any innovation system, there is a constant interplay between companies, research organisations, individuals, governments and others. There are startups, often the source of disruptive innovation, bringing new technical solutions to the markets; consumers seeking new products; and governments, both local and national, shaping the framework in which innovation happens. This collection explores the role that various actors assume in innovative activities, and how they influence developments within different systemic settings.
