Abstract: This research article examines asset sourcing dynamics and how the geography of asset sourcing influences green regional industrial restructuring. Empirically, the article considers how access to regional assets influences the green restructuring of the regional innovation system in the Agder region of southern Norway and discusses the role of geography in the unfolding of such processes in both emerging and mature industries. Based on 36 interviews, the study determines that the region is the most important geographical level for asset sourcing activities designed to promote green industrial restructuring. Furthermore, the article reveals that access to regional assets is most important for supporting the least radical regional green industrial path developments, while more radical mechanisms rely less on the regional level. Finally, the article suggests that asset sourcing for green restructuring is most intense in firms belonging to emerging industries, while firms in mature industries less actively source assets to restructure.
