Abstract: The paper analyses the institutional framework for scientific and economic transformation by discussing the role of universities in the context of knowledge creation. Pittsburgh with its industrial history related to steel production is taken as an example that illustrates the impact of the scientific innovation for processes of economic restructuring based on regional knowledge. The Digital Greenhouse and the Life Sciences Greenhouse initiatives give evidence of the political opportunities at the regional level.
