This article focuses on the regional innovation system (RIS) and its elements. There are some base elements (participants): technological platforms, innovation networks, clusters, joint ventures. The purpose of the article is to give the reader some information on innovation-based economy. The article analyses main characteristics and form`s conditions of each element. The article reviews how each element operate with regional innovation system. The article also describes the most important characteristics of clusters, innovation network, and platform. In article announce that cluster is the most widespread form of cooperation. According to the article it is important to respect the interests of business, university and government. ; Эта статья посвящена региональной инновационной системе ( РИС) и ее элементам.

Evolutionäre Ansätze bilden heute einen zentralen Baustein der regionalen Innovationsforschung. Im Fokus stehen dabei die Historie regionaler Innovationssysteme, daraus resultierende Routinen und Interaktionen sowie der Einfluss von Wissen, Institutionen und individuellen Akteuren auf Veränderungen regionaler Innovationspfade. Neue strukturpolitische Impulse wurden in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem durch die Europäische Kommission und die OECD gesetzt. Soziale Innovation, Intelligente Spezialisierung und die Ökologische Wende bilden aktuelle Diskussionslinien, die Veränderungen in regionalen Innovationssystemen nach sich ziehen werden. Welchen Beitrag INNO im Rahmen der Neujustierung leistet, wird in diesem Beitrag diskutiert.

This article examines industrial and technological growth in the province of Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta. It is based on a report drawn up by a team of researchers and professors under the authority of the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong province, and on interviews with local authorities and enterprises. It examines the growth in Guangdong's research and technology system, enterprise investment in Research and Development (R and D), the particular role of collective enterprises, the technological development zones, and the policy of industrial "clusters". Since 1999, the provincial authorities have sought to respond to the transformation of industrial space, by offering to set up a series of innovation centres located in specialised production areas. This article offers an initial assessment of this strategy of transforming industrial space into regional innovation space. (China Perspect/GIGA)

A review of the types of Innovation System identified in the literature points to different models. Besides the very well-known National, Regional, Local, sectorial, and technological innovation systems, combinations of the previous can be identified, proposing sub-models such as National Open Innovation Systems, Regional Open Innovation System, as well as Regional Sectorial Innovation System. Innovation systems are generally formed by 3 subsystems: Productive, Knowledge and Institutional. The interaction among the actors embedded in these subsystems fosters the development of cooperative and innovative attitudes. The literature settles differences between innovation systems disposing, in situ, policy making players or those being supported by collaborations with supra-territorial institutions. In this case, institutional subsystems are viewed as common regional values and culture promoters and diffusers. Another point is the openness of the innovation systems. Some authors consider this is already included in the IS concept while others reinforce the idea of the need of aperture. The previously mentioned types of Innovation System help explain the performance of different kind of regions. But, what happens in micro-regions that require sectorial, market, technological and geographical openness? What happens if the analyzed territory is sectorially specialized but does not have final clients, universities, research centers or policy makers? Would in that case be possible to consider an innovation system in the region? In order to contrast the ROSIS ?Regional Open Sectorial Innovation System-, a qualitative interview is performed with inner players of a micro-region (productive firms, knowledge actors and socio-political institutions). The found openness is not only productive, but also technological, sectorial and market-oriented one. Apart from inner players, external ones are also interviewed (regional policy researchers, policy makers, etc.) to academically validate the ROSIS model. Combining external and internal views of the region, the existence of the ROSIS can be analyzed from a policy sight. The scope of this research is the conceptualization and modeling of the ROSIS. This proposed Innovation System subtype is tested in a county located in the Basque Country (Spain) which counts with a strong productive specialization in the metal industry. The result of the analysis is the modeling of a multilevel IS considering the productive, sectorial, market, and technological openness to outside players, but also inner openness cooperation with all the existing players of the region, in order to consider all the knowledge diffusion chances.

Abstract
While most innovation collaboration projects consist of partners who are located at close proximity, recent literature has explored the development of innovation collaboration in the context of non-spatial proximity. Using a longitudinal mixed methods design, this article explores the inter-regional collaboration of triple helix partners from four non-contiguous European regions (Bucharest-Ilfov, Romania; Central Hungary, Hungary; Castilla-La Mancha, Spain; and South East, Ireland) which worked together to develop an inter-regional innovation system. The results from the study identified three non-spatial forms of proximity (social, cognitive and organisational) that were key determinants for developing the successful inter- regional innovation collaboration studied in this research. Based on the findings derived from this research, an inter-regional innovation system framework was developed to facilitate collaboration between stakeholders based in non-contiguous regions without them having to depend on geographical proximity. The major contributions of this research to theory and practice are the development of a novel framework for inter-regional innovation systems (iRIS) which can be applied by stakeholders in regions that want to collaborate from a distance. Furthermore, the research suggests that the substitution mechanism of geographical proximity consists of not just one non-spatial form, but it consists of the three non-spatial forms identified in this research.
