Innovation Ecosystem….

Professor Antti Hautamäki is now studying innovation ecosystems and innovation policy, especially related to the

regional and sustainable development. Actually he is involved in building an innovation center in the Jyväskylä region in

Central Finland. Hautamäki has developed a new concept of sustainable innovation in his book

Sustainable Innovation, A New Age of Innovation and Finland’s Innovation Policy, 2010.

Innovation is needed not only for economic growth but even more to solve wicked

problems on mankind. ( Antti Hautamäki)

“The Innovation Ecosystem is made up of communities of people with different types of

expertise and skill sets. Scientists, administrators, business leaders engineers, writers,

educators, health-care professionals, and other individuals all play a role. Each

community must receive the nutrients it deserves through leadership, funding and public

attention.”
