Résumé
Highlighting four theoretical developments, this paper theoretically re-examines the Learning Region in view of the changing roles of regions in the knowledge economy. 1) From specific contexts to general regional development strategies, 2) Introducing the Doing Using Interacting-mode of innovation, 3) Broadening the Science Technology and Innovation-mode, and 4) Accessing knowledge in distributed knowledge networks. Additionally, the papers looks at the Nordic economies to illustrate the potentials of combining these modes of innovation. The paper advocates a more nuanced understanding of knowledge, learning and innovation and identifies 'bridging mechanisms' to reduce cognitive distance and increase connectivity in regional innovation systems.
