    Transformative Dissonance: When Value Conflicts Drive Regional Change

    In this episode, Gisa Pflitsch discusses how value conflicts can drive regional transformation rather than block it. She introduces the concept of transformative dissonance, explains how it reshapes the role of universities beyond entrepreneurial and engaged models, and reflects on funding pressures, projectification, regional imaginaries, and inequality as a question of voice and representation.     Find Gisa on the Google Scholar   Please follow Centre for Innovation Research for other episodes.     Episode transcription   #RegInno_Podcast

     The Geography of AI: Why Adoption Matters More Than Generation (and some career advice)

    What does AI really mean for regional development – and are we asking the right questions? Together with Professor Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, Princesa de Asturias Chair at the London School of Economics (and professor 2 at UiS), we explore why the geography of AI adoption may matter far more than the race to generate it. From ASML in Veldhoven to BioNTech in Mainz, Andrés draws on a sweeping view of European innovation to argue that the places falling behind could actually gain the most – if we shift our focus from chasing Silicon Valley to leveraging comparative advantage. We also hear his reflections on a career built on curiosity, two PhDs, and a lifelong passion for understanding why some places thrive and others don’t.   Find Andrés Rodríguez-Pose on Google Scholar, LinkedIn, the website of the Department of Geography and Environment at the LSE and the website of the University of Stavanger.   Please follow the Centre for Innovation Research and the RegInno Podcast for other episodes.   #RegInno_Podcast   Episode transcription

    From Tax Incentives to Innovation Spillovers: Rethinking R&D Policy

    In this episode, innovation economist Matěj Bajgar discusses how R&D tax incentives shape innovation, why smaller firms often benefit the most, and how policy design can better support regional development. The conversation explores innovation economics, startup financing, regional disparities, and emerging research on innovation spillovers through firm networks.   Find Andy on the Matěj Bajgar, Google Scholar  Please follow Centre for Innovation Research for other episodes.   Episode transcription

    Making do, making well – Resource‑constrained innovation from the ‘other side’

    In this episode, Professor Soumodip Sarkar discusses how innovation emerges under resource constraints, particularly in “non-WEIRD” contexts (non-Western, less resource-rich environments). The conversation explores frugal innovation, grassroots innovation, bricolage, COVID-era problem solving, low-cost technological breakthroughs, and the future of industrial policy in the age of AI.     Find Soumodip Sarkar LinkedIn , Google Scholar.

    Charged Up: Europe, China & the Battery Race That’s Reshaping Geography

    Dr. Julian Schwabe (Marburg) joins The RegInno Podcast to discuss how the electric vehicle revolution is rewriting global production networks — from Shenzhen’s battery clusters to Wolfsburg’s anxious boardrooms — and what it means for Europe’s regions, jobs, and industrial future.   Find Julian Schwabe on LinkedIn, Google Scholar and the website of the University of Marburg, where he is also the Head of the Department.

    Hidden Champions: Breaking the Urban Bias in Innovation

    Are cities really the engines of innovation? Together with Thilo Lang, we explore how “hidden champions” – global leaders in niche markets – are distributed across regions and operate with similar innovation dynamics regardless of location. The conversation challenges urban bias and rethinks how we understand peripherality and regional development.

    Boundary Objects, Policy Transfer, and Sustainability Transitions

    In this episode, we talk with Matias Ramirez about sustainability transitions, transformative innovation policy, and why innovation policy cannot simply be transferred from one context to another. We discuss uncertainty, complexity, boundary objects, policy transfer, and the differences between innovation and transformation in the Global North and Global South. The conversation explores how policy ideas travel, how they change across contexts, and why transformation often emerges from society, not just from policymakers.   Find Andy on the University of Sussex, Google Scholar and LinkedIn  Please follow Centre for Innovation Research for other episodes.   Transcript of episode.

    Choosing Directions: Innovation, Power, and Transformation

    In this episode, we talk with Andy Stirling about one of the most overlooked questions in innovation: direction. Not just how innovation happens, but who decides where it goes and which alternatives are ignored. We discuss the difference between directing innovation, the direction of innovation, and directionality – the idea that there are always multiple possible technological futures. The conversation explores innovation roadmaps, power, democracy, sustainability transitions, and why innovation is never purely technical, but always political.
