The aims of this project are as follows:
1.
To study regional contexts of innovation in the CCIs, to identify environmental elements that favour the development of innovative projects.
2.
To examine cases of innovation among the CCSIs in each region, to know their specificities, their innovative profile as well as their position according measurement standards.
3.
Carry out a cross-sectional analysis with the aim of extracting typologies of environments favourable to innovation, profiles of innovative agents and design a scorecard of innovation indicators to monitor and evaluate innovation in CCSIs in the future.
For this, 21 regions from around the world have been selected and consulted through an original methodology.
With the study it is intended to:
Learn about the innovation ecosystem of each of the participating regions.
Analyse the organizations and innovation projects in each region.
Identify the trends, characteristics, and typologies that make these organizations innovative and pioneers in the sector.
The results of this global study, currently in development, will be presented at the CONTRAST Open Conference, which will be organised in Bilbao on the 25th and 26th October. This event will be also the opportunity to learn from key experts on CCI and innovation at global level, as well as to jointly reflect on the specific of innovation in the cultural and creative sectors, R&D and R&D&I processes and measurement of innovation in the CCIS.
