3 Results? ICT and especially Nokia were success stories of the 90 s and 00 s RDI of GDP over 7% in some years but is it really driving growth? Outside the Nokia ecosystem little evidence of success? Burning platform was the final straw -> Resilience and the ability to renew

4 Innovation Profile Tampere / Finland in 2009 Applications for patents / 1000 inhabitants Tekes RDI funding* / GDP Personnel in R&D, % of emplyees (2009) Fast growing enterprises (2010) R&D funding / GDP (2009) Foreign students, % of all students R&D funding of corporations, % 4 Tampere Region Target 2020? Doctoral gratuates, % of population aged over 15 yrs Tampere Region Finland * Tekes the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation

5 Our conclusions in 2008 We have to rethink and open up the Tampere / Finnish / European paradigm of innovation policy There are no safe bets anymore within the existing clusters Collaborative innovation in the fuzzy front end is becoming more and more important for businesses and societies Expectations on return on investment in innovation (policy) are getting higher Focus on emerging ecosystems, talent and entrepreneurship Exceptional capabilities for lean collaborative innovation can provide competitive edge for regional innovation ecosystems New innovation (policy) tools to replace inefficient ones

6 Our first platform initiatives Agile multidisciplinary co-creation of demonstrations by students & companies Lean startup creation by professionals, researchers, companies Testing and co-creation with user communities and living lab environments Co-innovation of startups and their potential customers and partners

7 Innovation platform vision funneling the innovation flow in a sustainable way INPUT INTERACTION FIELDS OUTPUT Knowledge creation Basic research Proof of concept Open Platform Education / Human resources Human networks Networks of funds Regional clusters University business collaboration Open Platform IP strategies Co-creation processes Open Platform Proof of relevance Jobs Wealth creation Commercialization New products & services New markets Companies Translational research Platform = a set of stable components that supports variety and evolvability in a system by constraining the linkages among the other components PEOPLE + PROCESS + FACILITY

9 What is a innovation platform (in Tampere Region)? Innovation platform is scalable socio-technical interaction environment which provides standardised processes for value-creation, connections and services related to them skaalautuva : alusta on innovaatiotoiminnan kiinteä kustannus, joka luo sitä enemmän arvoa mitä enemmän sitä käytetään. "sosioteknisiä": alustoilla on teknologisia ja ei-teknologisia toiminnallisuuksia. Ihmisiin ja yhteiskuntaan liittyvät vuorovaikutusominaisuudet ovat tärkeässä rooli "ympäristöjä": Alusta ei tee itse, vaan antaa välineitä toisten arvonluonnille. arvon luonti" : tarkoittaa innovaatiotoimintaa eri vaiheissaan (tarpeen tunnistaminen, ideointi, konsepti, demo, pilotti, proto, startup jne) sekä toimintaan liittyviä yhteiskunnan hankkeita, rakennusprojekteja, tukitoimia, politiikkaa, ohjelmia jne. Ajatus kuitenkin toimintakeskeinen. "vakioituja": alustoilla hommia tehdään etukäteen mietityllä tavalla ja samaa toimintamallia sovelletaan jatkuvasti useissa "toiminnan" projekteissa. Tavoitteena synnyttää toistojen kautta tehokkuutta, uutta kulttuuria ja osaamista sekä madaltaa osallistumisen kynnystä "prosesseja": toiminnan tapoja (esim demola-prosessi) jotka ovat kuvattavissa ja jossa käytetään joitakin työkaluja jotka antavat prosessille sen ennakoitavan struktuurin "rajapintoja": alustan tehtävä on liittää asioita ja ihmisiä yhteen, ottaa vastaan eri vaiheissa olevaa innovaatiotoimintaa, ja välittää alustalla tapahtunut arvonluonti eteenpäin oikeisiin jatkokehityksen kanaviin. "palveluja": edellä mainitut asiat eivät toteudu ja saavuta käyttäjiä automaattisesti,vaan ne pitää koota tuoda tarjolle tuotteistettuina palveluina.

10 Cluster policy vs. platform policy Trad. clustering Platforming Local universities and corporations as drivers Mobilization of networks to create R&D projects Selection and funding of unique product projects Technology push Communities, talents and global ecosystem orchestrators as drivers Creation of attractive environments to co-create, try out new stuff and speed-up go-to-market Capability building and systemic project clouds Demand pull

11 Living lab vs. innovation platform? Living lab User centric / driven design Citizen participation A few / some invited / selected projects Research as a method and tool Infrastructure-enabled Platform Value creation / cocreation Lean business dev Many / hundreds of emergent projects Research as an ingredient Talent-enabled
