19th Edition Regional Innovation Policies Conference‘Twin Transition, Ecosystems, and Disruptive Innovation’
2025-10-23 - 2025-10-24 | Venice, Italy
19th Edition Regional Innovation Policies Conference‘Twin Transition, Ecosystems, and Disruptive Innovation’
Venice School of Management – Ca’ Foscari University of Venice ITALY. 23-24 OCTOBER 2025
We are delighted to announce that the 19th edition of the Regional Innovation Policies Conference will be held in Venice, Italy, on October 23rd–24th at the Venice School of Management – Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, San Giobbe Economics Campus
The Regional Innovation Policies Conference has, for nearly two decades, been an important international arena for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange insights on regional innovation and development, and to debate on current regional policies and challenges. The focus of the 19th edition will be on ‘Twin Transition, Ecosystems, and Disruptive Innovation.’
As the European agenda pushes firms and regional economies toward a transition that integrates digital innovations with more sustainable strategies, this edition will be dedicated particularly to assessing and debating the capacity of regional policies to support combined technological, environmental, and social transformations. An opportunity to reflect on how innovation ecosystems targeted by recovery and resilience plans are transforming to follow regional trajectories along this direction. An occasion to understand how regional specializations can be supported in the adoption and upscaling of today’s most disruptive innovations meant to reach sustainable goals.
More updated information will be provided in due time
Call for abstract: coming in early February 2025
