Innovation platform policy vs. cluster policy
Trad. cluster policy
• Local universities and corporations as drivers
• Mobilization of networks to create R&D projects
• Selection and funding of best ”product” projects
• Public sector = funding
Platform policy
• Communities, talents and ecosystem orchestrators as drivers
• Creation of attractive environments to ”try out new stuff”
• Capability building and management of ”cloud of trials”
• Public sector = platform provider + co-creator + innovative customer
