Abstract
Some regions in the world are more successful at innovation than others. We can learn why by studying the lessons of successful global innovation regions. Ecosystems in different regions around the globe demonstrate diverse development trajectories and properties. Therefore, we take a deeper look into the characteristics and particularities we observe in some of today’s most exciting global innovation regions. The selection of the ecosystems that we study in this book will always be a snapshot of reality—as time passes, new innovative regions will emerge and others will lose their innovative energy. The geographical distribution of global innovation regions and their connections to each other are constantly on the move.
