Demand-Side Innovation. Policies Policy Brief No 1 (2009)
"Demand-side innovation policy instruments may be defined as a set of public measures to increase the demand for innovations, to improve the conditions for the uptake of innovations, and/or to improve the articulation of demand in order to spur innovations and the diffusion of innovations. According to Edler (2009), such a broad definition of demand-based innovation policies implies twin rationales, namely to promote and stimulate innovation and to increase the diffusion of innovation. In addition, this second rationale, the diffusion of innovation, further implies that the concept of innovation extends beyond the scope of 'new to the world' and encompasses innovations that are new to a firm or to a certain geographical space..."
