“…The approach presented in this paper has been proven to be useful in other foresight exercises (e.g., sensor technology and nanotechnology with sectoral elements included) that were conducted by the authors of this paper [68], [69]. This, to some extent, indicates that the approach can be extended to other sectors or to foresight in general.…”

Highlights• We contribute to the theoretical underpinning and theory building in foresight • We investigate how elements of innovation system theory can contribute to foresight • We focus on foresight in industrial sectors as a domain overlapping public and corporate settings • External megatrends and internal trends and challenges for the Nordic facilities management sectorPriority setting for longer term research in a cross national (Nordic) setting Abstract: A number of studies have explored the interconnection between the foresight literature and the innovation system literature. This paper adds to these studies by investigating how theoretical elements of the innovation system approach can contribute to the design and practice of foresight processes. The paper originates in a foresight project in the Nordic facilities management sector. The goal of the foresight project was to identify the possible futures of the facilities management sector in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) and, based on the findings, to establish a proposal for a common Nordic facilities management research agenda. The paper finds that three elements of the innovation system literature are of particular interest for the practice of foresight: innovation systems and context dependency, learning and user-producer interactions, and the role of knowledge and knowledge production. These elements are embedded into a simple sectoral innovation system model (including actors, knowledge flows, and the strategic environment).

Bacteria concentration and detection is time-consuming in regular microbiology procedures aimed to facilitate the detection and analysis of these cells at very low concentrations. Traditional methods are effective but often require several days to complete. This scenario results in low bioanalytical and diagnostic methodologies with associated increased costs and complexity. In recent years, the exploitation of the intrinsic electrical properties of cells has emerged as an appealing alternative approach for concentrating and detecting bacteria. The combination of dielectrophoresis (DEP) and impedance analysis (IA) in microfluidic on-chip platforms could be key to develop rapid, accurate, portable, simple-to-use and cost-effective microfluidic devices with a promising impact in medicine, public health, agricultural, food control and environmental areas. The present document reviews recent DEP and IA combined approaches and the latest relevant improvements focusing on bacteria concentration and detection, including selectivity, sensitivity, detection time, and conductivity variation enhancements. Furthermore, this review analyses future trends and challenges which need to be addressed in order to successfully commercialize these platforms resulting in an adequate social return of public-funded investments.

“…Internationally, the term has been used to describe institutions such as Entrepreneur Research Centers [29], national research centers in Thailand such as the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC) [33], knowledge centers in Europe [34], the VCI Technology Center in Germany [35] or Science and Technology centers in India. Internationally, technology centers can also be organizations specifically developed to support a specific technology cluster such as the Sensor Technology Center in Denmark [36].…”

Managers require metrics to measure organizational performance. However, metrics used by organizations that support technology cluster development are poorly understood in the literature. The most frequently referenced indicator for cluster development is regional economic and jobs data. These macro level indicators are not sufficient to measure the performance inside the cluster, leaving champions and policy makers to struggle with ad-hoc trial and error experimentation. The difficulty in defining and developing a performance measurement system is addressed. This paper lays the groundwork for improved approaches towards measuring the performance of technology cluster initiatives.
