Synopsis "The Entrepreneurial Region: and the Story of Medellin's Economic Transformation (in English)"
The Entrepreneurial Region explores the importance of regions in encouraging regional structural change. What is the role of regional governments in the innovation process? What can regions on the knowledge periphery do to promote technological catch-up with innovation hubs? Fundamentally, The Entrepreneurial Region argues for regional governments to act more entrepreneurially and to partner with regional stakeholders to find solutions to complex policy questions. The book includes three parts. The first part introduces the concept of The Entrepreneurial Region. The second part presents a case study of an Entrepreneurial Region with Medellin in Colombia. The case study provides a rich description of the regional context, the actors, and the regional innovation agency behind Medellin's economic transformation. Lastly, the book provides a toolkit for regional policymakers to stimulate regional structural change in a sustainable and inclusive manner.The book will be of interest for regional policymakers, practitioners, and elected officials in regions on the knowledge periphery (Global South, peripheral regions in the European Union) and for everyone with an interest in innovation policies, regional development, and heterodox evolutionary economics.For more info, please visit entrepreneurialregion.com
