Building Regional Foresight Capability in Chile

The co-founder of IFI, Totti Könnölä co-authored the European Foresight Platform brief on the foresight programme, of which overall objective was to enhance innovation-driven sustainable economic development of the Antofagasta region in Chile. The main purposes of the foresight
were to:
  1. improve the foresight capability in the region, especially for the partner organisations,
  2. enhance collaboration between the industry, government and research organisations and
  3. support the creation of a strategic research agenda for the region on a topic chosen by the partner organisations.

People, Places & Policies: promoting systemic innovation and a stronger entrepreneurial culture in Europe

Cf1GOkEXEAAvPbB.jpg_largeInnovation and entrepreneurship are key drivers for economic growth and competitiveness. While recent policies also aim at promoting sustainability and better governance, many analysts have pointed to Europe’s inability to create a suitable environment in which a vivid entrepreneurial culture could flourish.

The event, organised by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in partnership with the European Parliament, will be hosted by Eva Paunova MEP on 27th April 2016 at the European Parliament. The event intends to validate a new report from CEPS on Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Europe: People, Places and Policies, the result of a six-month Task Force involving authoritative scholars, industry experts, entrepreneurs, practitioners and representatives of EU and international institutions.

Insight Foresight Institute (IFI) has played pertinent role in this taskforce chaired by José Manuel Leceta (Chairman of IFI). Furthermore, Totti Könnölä (Managing Director of IFI) has acted as a co-rapporteur. We highly appreciate that some of the board and council members have also participated in the taskforce meetings.

The outcome is a set of policy recommendations that aim at improving the overall environment and approach for entrepreneurship and innovation in Europe, and a new understanding of the role that “people, places and policies” can and should play within the current context of the European Union. More specifically, the CEPS Task Force agreed upon three key principles: future EU policy for entrepreneurship and innovation should be systemic, simple and, more importantly, tied to societal needs.

logo_euspriInsight Foresight Institute organises a special track in the 2016 Annual Conference of the EU-SPRI Forum, organised in Lund, Sweden, June 7-10, 2016.

Track theme 6:(Re)searching the critical ‘meso’ level: Learning innovation agencies and Entrepreneurial ecosystems
The ‘meso level’ efforts of learning innovation a agencies are to play a new and increasingly important role: from ‘funding and coordination’ to ‘facilitation and orchestration’ of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Herein, further understanding is needed to advance the theory and practice of:
-innovation agencies in experimenting new instruments
-open innovation schemes like IP licensing, open-source platforms and partnerships
-capital investments and corporate and university venturing
-foresight, intelligence and learning within innovation agencies

In addition to paper presentations on these topics a panel session will be organized with Jose Manuel Leceta, Totti Könnölä, Dan Breznitz, Göran Marklund (tbc), Jakob Edler and Albert Bravo-Biosca. Please contact: totti.konnola@if-institute.org for further information about the Track Theme.
