Research

My research focus is on responsible/sustainable innovation and transition in energy, transport and medical/healthcare systems. My focus is also on effectiveness in knowledge commercialization, including growth of university spin-off firms, living labs, networks, incubators and science parks, and contribution to the regional/urban knowledge economy.

Theoretical perspectives include resource-based view, capabilities and social capital, and urban innovation theory. The approach is often quantitative modelling, eventually illustrated with qualitative case studies.
