“…The development of innovation in regional contexts can only be successful with collective action from different stakeholders. Van den Bosch et al [27] confirmed this in their case study and underlined that it is crucial to obtain the commitment of stakeholders.…”

“…It allowed stakeholders to reflect on their respective situation and options regarding sustainable regional development and in the face of new challenges. Van den Bosch et al [27] (p. 1033) stated that their roadmapping approach "facilitated interaction between stakeholders, which not only made it possible to formulate a common vision, but also helped in developing new relationships between different stakeholders." With ROIR, new cooperation, networks and even a wood supply chain were established.…”

“…Generally, roadmapping offers various opportunities regarding the methodology [28,29], but workshops and interviews with experts or stakeholders are very common [10,19,26,27]. The development of innovation in regional contexts can only be successful with collective action from different stakeholders.…”

“…Its emphasis shifts from the roadmap as a graphical product for the developing process of the roadmap [29]. In terms of the organization, communication work during the roadmapping process is usually a more important output than the final roadmap [26,27].…”

“…Only a few studies have dealt with the elements of TRM in urban or regional contexts. Van den Bosch et al [27] applied a bottom-up approach to generate a roadmap for the Rotterdam case study of the transition to a fuel cell transport system. Another study by Lee et al [28] introduced an integrated service-devicestechnology roadmapping process for smart city development in Korea.…”

Regional Open Innovation Roadmapping: A New Framework for Innovation-Based Regional Development

Abstract:To foster sustainable regional development, many regions rely on innovations. To safeguard the generation of innovations and their market introduction, companies have increasingly used technology roadmapping and open innovation. The project INNOrural (Innovations for sustainable rural development) expanded these concepts by applying them to regions. This led to the rise of the "Regional Open Innovation Roadmapping" framework for innovation-based regional development (ROIR). This framework was tested by conducting two innovation roadmapping processes in the model region of Märkisch-Oderland (MOL), Germany: the certification of regional wood fuel and the establishment of a competence center for precision farming technology. Both innovation ideas were selected during the roadmapping process by applying a sustainability assessment. After 12 months, two complete roadmaps were ready for implementation. Key principles of ROIR were identified, including the use of a clear and replicable sustainability assessment method, the involvement of all relevant stakeholder groups in the early process and the cooperation between regional and subject experts. Generally, the broader adaptation of ROIR for additional regions will be useful. Nevertheless, the ROIR processes need to be evaluated in depth to develop a better understanding and to provide evidence of the benefits and limitations of this approach.

Business strategies and the transition to low‐carbon cities

et al. 2010

Cities are key drivers of global climate change, with the majority of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions being tied to urban life. Local actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change are essential for stabilization of the global climate and can also help to address other urban ecological problems such as pollution, decreasing biodiversity, etc. Companies are important urban actors in the development of low-carbon cities because they provide a multitude of goods and services to city populations and directly infl uence urban carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. This is a new area of research. While studies on corporate sustainability are numerous, there is little, if any, existing research that examines the role of companies in climate change adaptation and mitigation within specifi c urban areas. Urban ecologists also have not examined how corporate activity affects urban systems. Taking a multi-disciplinary systems approach, we present a conceptual model of the role of companies in managing urban interactions with the climate system. We also present empirical fi ndings illustrating how one company 'partners' with the city of Rotterdam to test electric vehicles as a pilot project for urban climate adaptation and mitigation.
