The article compares seven innovation programs implemented across Europe and their execution. Particularly interesting insights relate to the roles, benefits, and challenges of different governance arrangements.

“The InnoCities’ Pitelemättömät webinar series brings together the key actors of InnoCities to share the latest research insights and perspectives on city-driven innovation activities. The series provides input for developing innovation ecosystems: what kind of expertise is required for ecosystem development and what role cities play as ecosystem builders. Each speaker approaches the theme from their own perspective, offering participants an opportunity to reflect on their experiences and gain new insights into their own work.
