SUMMARY:Innovation diffusion: How can regions benefit?
DESCRIPTION:The webinar represents the 14th meeting of the Spatial Productivity Lab at the OECD Trento Centre and is organised in collaboration with Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum \nInnovation is the most important contributor to long-term economic growth. It is not just about “pushing the frontier”\, but also about the spread of ideas and technologies throughout the economy. Innovation diffusion can help regions to catch up by integrating and building on existing ideas and technologies. Yet\, the spread of innovation seems to be slow. What are the mechanisms of innovation diffusion\, what are the barriers and how can regions more actively and successfully learn in order to increase their productivity\, competitiveness and wellbeing? \nSwedish Entrepreneurship Forum is the leading network organization for initiating\, conducting and communicating policy relevant research in the field of entrepreneurship\, innovation\, business dynamics and growth. Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum is the founder of the most prestigious international research prize in the field: Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. \nThe Spatial Productivity Lab (SPL) at the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development is a dedicated research laboratory that works with local and global partners to advance knowledge about the ways regional policy and a better understanding of spatial links can improve productivity growth and thereby the creation of better jobs and well-being.
