Keynote Title: Information for Regional Innovation Systems

Keynote Lecturer: Fred Phillips

Presented on: 05/05/2020, Online Streaming

Abstract: Regional innovation system (RIS) need information infrastructure to gather and diffuse knowledge to and from a broad range of actors. Yet we find information is rarely centralized, or even well coordinated, in the typical RIS. Through interviews with RIS leaders, literature review, and consulting experience we uncover twenty obstacles to comprehensive RIS information support. We compare the obstacles faced by grassroots RIS initiatives (typical in the USA) and government-led RIS initiatives (more typical in Asia), focusing on examples from Portland, Austin, and Daeduk. We benchmark these metro areas’ performance against an “ideal” RIS support specification, and briefly compare the ICT orientations of an RIS and a smart city. Though obstacles to information coordination fall into several categories, remedying them appears to require cultural and regulatory reform. This work has been developed with the collaboration of Urusha Thapa and Ben Matheson.
