Innovation and regional development are two topics that were (separately) very much discussed by scholars and in recent literature there have been attempts to examine how the former is connected to the latter. At the same time, different types of regional agglomeration systems have been developed and discussed. However, there is a significant gap in literature particularly concerning Innovation Zones. Thus, there is a need to look into this concept and examine the benefits that Innovation Zones can provide to the region to which they are affiliated. Consequently, it is necessary to examine who are the main actors of an Innovation Zone and the prerequisites for a successful Innovation Zone. This analysis will provide to the reader knowledge on regional development theories, the importance of knowledge and it would be especially useful to students or professionals that deal with issues related to innovation, regional development and knowledge agglomeration systems....

There is a new state education policy concept termed either innovation zones or districts of innovation. State education agencies interested in shifting their role from enforcing compliance to one of supporting innovation and building capacity in districts are working to spur new innovative instructional models and create space for competency-based pathways in student-centered learning models. States set up an innovation zone by passing enabling legislation to set up a program and/or offering certain waivers or exemptions from administrative regulations and statutory provisions. Explore this issue brief to learn more about innovation zones or districts of innovation, why they are so important to catalyze the development of new learning models and examples of legislative language....

This paper provides the role of innovation in regional development. The most important factors and stakeholders for the success of regional development are presented, such as industries, SME's and large companies, which do business in a specific region, local educational organizations, universities, institutes and research centers, which can provide the ordered scientific knowledge for the businesses to scale up and the Government, especially the local Authorities, which can support and boost the efforts of the other stakeholders to grow up. The collaboration of all these stakeholders based on the “Triple Helix model”, which is analyzed in the second part of this paper. In the third part of this paper is presented and described the Alexander Innovation Zone S.A., which is established in Thessaloniki, in Northern Greece, by providing its definition, scope, vision, and actions.

Slicing through blunt theories of supply and demand, Callon presents a rigorously researched but counterintuitive model of how everyday market activity gets produced. If you’re convinced you know what a market is, think again. In his long-awaited study, French sociologist and engineer Michel Callon takes us to the heart of markets, to the unsung processes that allow innovations to become robust products and services. Markets in the Making begins with the observation that stable commercial transactions are more enigmatic, more elusive, and more involved than previously described by economic theory. Slicing through blunt theories of supply and demand, Callon presents a rigorously researched but counterintuitive model of market activity that emphasizes what people designing products or launching startups soon discover—the inherent difficulties of connecting individuals to things. Callon’s model is founded upon the notion of “singularization,” the premise that goods and services must adapt and be adapted to the local milieu of every individual whose life they enter. Person by person, thing by thing, Callon demonstrates that for ordinary economic transactions to emerge en masse, singular connections must be made. Pushing us to see markets as more than abstract interfaces where pools of anonymous buyers and sellers meet, Callon draws our attention to the exhaustively creative practices that market professionals continuously devise to entangle people and things. Markets in the Making exemplifies how prototypes, fragile curiosities that have only just been imagined, are gradually honed into predictable objects and practices. Once these are active enough to create a desired effect, yet passive enough to be transferred from one place to another without disruption, they will have successfully achieved the status of “goods” or “services.” The output of this more ample process of innovation, as redefined by Callon, is what we recognize as “the market”—commercial activity, at scale. The capstone of an influential research career at the forefront of science and technology studies, Markets in the Making coherently integrates the empirical perspective of product engineering with the values of the social sciences. After masterfully redescribing how markets are made, Callon culminates with a strong empirical argument for why markets can and should be harnessed to enact social change. His is a theory of markets that serves social critique....

Existing literature on innovation districts and global case studies relate the importance of including housing opportunities in innovation district planning, including housing for employees. Innovation districts are dense and vibrant urban areas that provide opportunities for research institutions, technology firms, entrepreneurs, and local businesses to coexist in one space, creating economic growth and strengthening local institutions. The dense and mixed-use urban planning model used to define and design innovation districts requires creating a mix of opportunities for research, work, living, shopping, and entertainment. Former Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell and Texas State Senator Kirk Watson created an Innovation District Advisory Group in 2013 to explore the idea of creating an innovation district in Austin. The establishment of the Dell Medical School, the redevelopment of the Central Health Brackenridge Campus, and the creation of the Dell Seton Medical Center in the northeast quadrant of Downtown Austin laid the foundation for establishing the Austin Innovation Zone in 2014. In March 2016, Senator Watson and Central Health announced the creation of a newly formed nonprofit, Capital City Innovation Inc., which will help drive the process of establishing the Zone and engaging local businesses. Planning for the Zone should further the vision and goals of the Downtown Austin Plan and create a dense and livable Downtown that includes various housing choices, including workforce housing. Workforce housing caters to households earning between 60 and 80 percent of the Area Median Income. Changing demographics and shifting housing preferences indicate workers prefer living close to work and in vibrant downtown settings. Employers are locating offices in downtowns to attract new employees and prefer that employees live close to work to increase productivity. Creative strategies are required to include rental workforce housing in the plans for the Austin Innovation Zone, as the case studies in this report show. To create workforce housing in the Zone, this report suggests conducting further research and a needs assessment, creating an Innovation Zone Density Bonus Program, revising the Land Development Code, creating a Downtown Workforce Housing Corporation, revising the S.M.A.R.T. Housing Program, streamlining the current permitting processes and providing options for expedited review....
