International innovation systems for the bioeconomy

Chapter 9 in Handbook on the Bioeconomy, 2025, pp 152-196 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Innovations are a major driver of the growth of the bioeconomy. The innovation systems framework provides a useful tool to analyze the opportunities and constraints to bioeconomy innovation at the international and national level. After the introduction, this chapter first presents a review of the conceptual frameworks that have been used to study innovation processes in the bioeconomy. Subsequently, we develop an extended version of the innovation system framework, called the “International Bioeconomy Innovation System” (IBIS) framework that captures the international dimension inherent in many innovation processes in the bioeconomy. This framework is then applied to case studies of mRNA vaccines and of CRISPR-Cas9, which are disruptive biological technologies that are transforming medical and agricultural research and were recognized with Nobel prizes for three women and one man.
