• Resumen

  • Recent developments in regional innovation policy have challenged the assumptions of smart specialisation strategies (S3). Initially aimed at governing innovation for growth, S3 need to tackle societal, sustainable development challenges. To this end, reformed S3 approaches are being implemented. The present study sets out to propose an extension of one such approach, the shared agendas led by the Catalan government. Through a literature review, the study will propose an extended shared agendas governance model –the governance arrangements set in place to coordinate innovation projects towards a common goal– suitable to the blue bioeconomy, that is those economic activities related to the living resources at sea. In addition, the shared agendas will be extended to coordinate innovation projects across regions and countries in the Mediterranean. The resulting governance model will be useful to initiatives coordinating food-related innovation, transnationally.
