Abstract

This paper discusses how to cultivate networked innovation and development in maritime clusters and what tools and techniques are available. The nature of innovation and development is increasingly driven in open and dynamic networks of people with complementary competences. Traditional innovation and development models conceptually located within the confines of corporate walls do not suffice. Professionals from industry, academics, and civil servants need to find spaces and approaches to come together, a practice that we have termed “networked innovation”. This paper develops an approach to community-based innovation and development with participatory design principles. These principles are tested and analyzed with empirical data from an innovation and development workshop attended by international participants from the maritime cluster as part of a project funded by the Swedish Institute.
