Innovation Networks in Metropolitan Regions - The Case of the Vienna Urban Region

This paper analyses the potential role of the municipal authorities of Vienna in supporting and shaping the metropolitan innovation system. Based on a survey of innovation networks in the Vienna urban region, basic structural features of these networks - types of partners, their location and the kind of relations between them - are presented. From these results, conclusions concerning the design of urban innovation policy - its potential scope and effectiveness, reasonable priorities and inevitable limits - are drawn.
