Abstract
innovation strategy. This strategy has resulted in several limitations, such as growing disparities between member states and bureaucracy. To address these limitations, the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) was developed. S3 focuses on leveraging place based capabilities for economic growth, recognising that regions have distinct (socio-economic and institutional structures. S3 aims to balance between the bottom-up identification of promising economic areas on one hand, and top-down selection and prioritisation on the other.
A critical aspect of S3’s success is the relationship between the public and private sectors. While top-down policies can strategically shape the market, policymakers rely on bottom up knowledge creation and innovation in prioritised sectors. Continuous cooperation and coordination between these sectors are essential to achieve S3 goals and drive structural change. This research is concerned with elucidating the cooperation and coordination between the public and private sector in the eastern Netherlands’ Cleantech region (alternatively: Stedendriehoek).
