“…Regional systems of innovation build capacity for transformative activities that have the potential to improve the lives of citizens in surrounding communities. Explanation of the success of these systems has evolved from literature on regional science combined with evolutionary economics, 34,35 the economics of innovation, 36,37 theories of interactive learning 38 and institutional economics. 39 In this article, we examine how older adults, a historically excluded population from the world of technology and innovation, might participate in a manner that is both empowering for them and instructional for those developers and decision-makers that are the generative engine of the ecosystems.…”

Objectives: Regional health innovation ecosystems can activate collaboration and support planning, self-management and development and commercialization of innovations. We sought to understand how older adults and their caregivers can be meaningfully engaged in regional health innovation ecosystems focused on health and aging–related technology innovation. Methods: A six-phase concept mapping technique gathered data over six time points across Canada. Brainstorming conducted online and in person identified engagement ideas. Statements were sorted by similarity and rated by participants on importance and feasibility. Qualitative approaches and multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis, descriptive statistics and t tests were used for analysis. Results: Sixty-two unique ideas were assembled into a seven-cluster framework of priorities for engagement in regional health innovation ecosystems including public forums, co-production and partnerships, engagement, linkage and exchange, developing cultural capacity, advocacy and investment in the ecosystem. Conclusions: This study identified a framework of priorities for directions and strategies for older adult and caregiver engagement in regional health innovation ecosystems. Next steps include collaborations to develop regional health innovation ecosystems that actively engage older adults and their caregivers in health and aging–related technology innovation.

“…National systems of innovation (NSI) and regulatory instruments are key factors to shape and convey this epidemic effect. The concept of the NSI was developed successively by Freeman (1987), Lundvall (1992), Nelson (1993), andMetcalfe (1995). Their definitions of the 3.…”

We provide a comprehensive framework of analyzing the diffusion process of renewable technology, incorporating epidemic and pecuniary effects. Relying on a panel dataset consisting of information from 1207 CDM wind projects in thirty provinces over the period 2004-2011, we find strong evidence on the dominant role of the epidemic effect and new evidence on pecuniary effects that generate a diminishing marginal effect of profitability in inducing technology adoption. Our numerical simulation demonstrates that the epidemic effect can play a quantitatively important role in the spread of renewable energy technology and markedly enhance the optimal social welfare. Our findings convey important policy implications for regulators when choosing policy instruments to enhance the diffusion and adoption of clean technology. Price instruments should be complemented by a wide range of non-market instruments to address non-market barriers. Policy interventions should be taken using a systemic approach.

“…A systemic and evolutionary approach is proposed to understand the relationships between science, technology, and innovation and the cumulative processes generating changes in the systems. It is argued that an evolving system in a dynamically changing environment will never actually achieve a state of optimal equilibrium (e.g., Edquist, 1994Edquist, , 1997Edquist, , 2001Metcalfe, 1998Metcalfe, , 2002and Miles, 2002Nelson, 1993, Lundvall, 1992, Woolthuisa et al, 2005. This applies to a large extent to services when exploring the categories mentioned below.…”

Innovation and the New Service Economy in Latin America and the Caribbean

The service sector has become one of the most important economic activity in the world economy in both developed and developing economies. Services are crucial for further developing the Latin American and Caribbean countries, providing a strong economic dynamism and creating the source for job creation and welfare. Service innovation is incremental for ensuring strong and competitive growth of services in the region. Agriculture and manufacturing industries also need service innovation to become more competitive. Service innovation shows some particuliarities, distinctive from innovation in goods, such as the relatively less importance of R&D and patents. Service innovation policies are justified by a wide range of reasons, including the existence of market and systemic failures. A number of developed and developing countries have recently promoted service innovation policies, following various strategies. Both horizontal and vertical policies need to used, together with systemic policies to fully integrate services in the existing innovation policies. The case studies coordinated by the Inter-American Development Bank study on services and productivity in Latin American and the Caribbean suggest the need for understanding the peculiarities of different subsectors and countries to promote innovation, maximize its impact, and face a wide range of obstacles hampering innovation in services. The first policy priority would be to raise the awareness of the topic in the policy and business agendas.
