This chapter reflects on the complexity of providing a taxonomy of innovative regions that can be a useful policy tool to support fully decentralised regional innovation policy approaches, such as the smart specialisation strategy, so to mitigate the multiple risks arising from the implementation of innovation policies. The chapter presents the most recent taxonomy of innovative regions, produced through a scientific effort based on overcoming several limitations characterising the existing taxonomies. The chapter also demonstrates how the regional innovation pattern taxonomy, as it is called, is useful to suggest innovation strategies specific to each group of innovative regions aimed at the reinforcement and upgrading of the existing regional innovation mode.

Abstract

This chapter reflects on the complexity of providing a taxonomy of innovative regions that can be a useful policy tool to support fully decentralised regional innovation policy approaches, such as the smart specialisation strategy, so to mitigate the multiple risks arising from the implementation of innovation policies. The chapter presents the most recent taxonomy of innovative regions, produced through a scientific effort based on overcoming several limitations characterising the existing taxonomies. The chapter also demonstrates how the regional innovation pattern taxonomy, as it is called, is useful to suggest innovation strategies specific to each group of innovative regions aimed at the reinforcement and upgrading of the existing regional innovation mode.
