Abstract
The paper approaches the challenges of loosely coupled
regional innovation networks from the innovation
management and regional energy efficiency development
perspective. It aims to bring insights on how to initiate
and facilitate collaboration between the stakeholders.
The paper provides conceptual models that can be utilized
especially by the actors and authorities who have a
strong interest in regional development. Our results
emphasize the identification and selection of a leading
organization which can promote and facilitate the
collaboration between loosely coupled organizations. It
can also be seen that the innovation network management
principles used in business context work also in regional
collaboration between highly heterogeneous organizations.
Processes and practices to support the collaboration from
the creation of common understanding and objectives to
setting up of joint development projects should be in
place.
