And/or join us for our dedicated Track on "Innovation intermediaries and regional innovation systems" at the R&D Management Conference in Manchester (22-24 June 2026). This will explore the key role of innovation intermediaries in orchestrating knowledge transfer and bridging gaps in scaling and commercialisation within regional innovation systems. It examines how these actors shape place-based dynamics, foster diversification, and contribute to regional development through their evolving capabilities and functions.
