Abstract

[The concept national system of innovation (NSI) is popular in innovation parlance. In general, the definition of NSI locates the interactions that occur between the various elements promoting the production and use of knowledge in the confines of the nation-state.

This chapter breaks from convention and attempts to innovate around innovation policy, systems of innovation and regionalism.]
