Description:
The project represents an interdisciplinary research effort focused on the systemic mechanisms underlying the development of innovation ecosystems as pillars of economic resilience in the European context. Its main objective is to analyse how the societal environment, regulatory frameworks, and modes of governance shape the ability of states, regions, and organisations to create and implement innovations. These factors condition the capacity of economic actors to adapt to market changes and to enhance their long-term competitiveness. The project is based on the assumption that technological development alone does not explain differences in innovation outcomes or economic performance. What is decisive is whether institutional and organisational settings enable innovations to be effectively translated into changes in products, processes, and organisational structures. Attention is therefore directed at specific institutional and managerial mechanisms that determine how innovations are adopted in practice and how they affect the ability of actors to respond to economic and societal change. To this end, the project integrates economic, legal, and technical perspectives and examines these relationships across multiple levels of analysis, ranging from national and regional structures to individual organisations. The research is grounded in quantitative analyses of international and firm-level data, complemented by comparative and case-based studies. Empirical analyses are embedded in concrete organisational and institutional contexts in which innovation-related decision-making directly translates into economic performance and resilience. The project’s results will provide analytical foundations applicable to organisational management as well as to the design of economic and regulatory policies aimed at strengthening economic resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable development under conditions of ongoing technological and institutional transformation.
