Innovate Policymaking to drive innovation

According to BCI: " It is increasingly recognised that the governance framework that is in place for an industry sector has a significant impact on its capacity to innovate." An authoritarian government style will lead to a domination of the Business Models of large corporations highly focused on optimisation and incremental innovation. By another end, disruptive innovation results from co-creation ecosystems in which the role of governance must be one of the many accountable elements.

In the actual economic scenario, it is proven that disruptive innovation delivers significant benefits to national and regional economies.

Policy Innovation is a behaviour change from the Advisory Regulation towards the Anticipatory Regulation mindset.

Based on Nesta's "working model for anticipatory regulation", Innovate.city is the on-field operation to install a world-leading environment to develop new technologies, by putting in place a regulatory system that anticipates the opportunities and drawbacks of innovation, allowing companies to safely test their products and services, and ultimately attracting new industries to invest in the region where the lab is
