Abstract

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently developing fast and its potential as driver of innovative solutions is increasing, pushed by technologies, networks, communication, and computing power, and has the potential to drive the development of technological ecosystems, such as innovation clusters. Innovation clusters are agglomeration of enterprises and research organizations, which cooperate, interact and compete, generating innovation and driving the growth of ecosystems. The narrative around innovation clusters has been developing since many years and policy-makers seek to use such clusters as a policy instrument to support the growth of technology on the one hand and regional and sectoral development on the other hand. This policy paper expands an empirical study on IoT innovation clusters in Europe and places it within the current debate around clusters and innovation clusters to provide evidence-based advice to policy-makers on what may and may not work as public policy measures. The paper highlights the findings of the interaction with several hundred European IoT innovation clusters and points out their points of view on their own creation factors, operational characteristics, and success stories, as well as their expectations in respect to policy interventions for IoT and for clusters. Suggestions for IoT policy-making are provided. The paper has also undertaken an extensive review of up-to date research on innovation cluster creation and performance, thoroughly analyzing the real possibility to define causal relationships between clusters, productivity and economic growth, and business performance, and providing suggestions for policy-makers on the approach to cluster policy.
欧洲的物联网创新集群和公共政策案例
摘要物联网(IoT)目前发展迅速,在技术、网络、通信和计算能力的推动下,其作为创新解决方案驱动力的潜力正在增加,并有潜力推动技术生态系统的发展,如创新集群。创新集群是企业和研究组织的聚集,它们相互合作、互动和竞争,产生创新并推动生态系统的发展。多年来,围绕创新集群的叙事一直在发展,决策者试图将这些集群作为一种政策工具,一方面支持技术增长,另一方面支持区域和部门发展。本政策文件扩展了一项关于欧洲物联网创新集群的实证研究,并将其置于当前围绕集群和创新集群的辩论中,以向决策者提供基于证据的建议,说明哪些措施可以作为公共政策措施,哪些措施可以不作为公共政策手段。本文强调了与数百个欧洲物联网创新集群互动的发现,并指出了他们对自身创造因素、运营特征和成功案例的看法,以及他们对物联网和集群政策干预的期望。为物联网政策制定提供了建议。本文还对创新集群创建和绩效的最新研究进行了广泛回顾,深入分析了定义集群、生产力和经济增长以及企业绩效之间因果关系的真实可能性,并为决策者提供了集群政策的建议。
