ASTRIC

Vibrant regional innovation ecosystems as an attractor for talent and skills is our common need. In addition to contributing to the competitiveness of our regions, innovation ecosystems create a trickle- down effect benefiting all. Measuring the ability of innovation ecosystems is necessary because it provides useful quantifiable data to understand its current state and identify areas for enhancement. The main target group is policymakers, however, such measurements can inform other public and private bodies to multiply their efforts for the common good.

Developed by Region Västerbotten, METRIC is a measurement tool we will develop further. With the involvement of key stakeholders, indicators for fast demonstrations are selected based on regional relevance and data availability. A systematic process to adapt and transfer METRIC will be part of the action plan for full-scale measurement and communication. Throughout the project, capacity to evaluate innovation ecosystems is built.
