Abstract
While new organisational models of innovation were intensively
discussed in the last decade, there is little systematic exploration concerning
their potential for different sectors and areas and their wider implications for
economy and society. We present findings from an international foresight
project which analyses and discusses the emergence and diffusion of new
innovation patterns and their consequences for innovation policy. Based
on a collection of international practice examples from industry and society,
innovation visions have been generated and assessed involving different
experts from all over Europe. A generic trend identified can be best described
as open, distributed and networked innovation process which is to a certain
extent already addressed in current innovation policy making. However,
other trends such as the increased use of information technologies or new
spatial shifts related to organising and doing innovation have rather been
underestimated so far and will require new policy responses in the future.
