1. Contextual factors
• Influenced by different pressures, the economy based largely on petroleum is transitioning towards a diverse economy with renewable biomass as an important feedstock for both fuel and chemical production.
• To realize this transition, incremental innovations alone will not suffice. More radical innovations are crucial for a successful transition to a more sustainable system.
• The necessary applied innovation research is complex and will have to be organized on the interface of different disciplines.
• But the classic research models usually follow a linear process and are often restricted to a single discipline.
• To circumvent the barriers biotechnological inventions face and to identify the underlying bottlenecks, methodologically innovative research approaches are needed.

2. Innovation research and development
• Currently, most agricultural innovation researchers use a linear model of knowledge creation and transfer of technology.
• The results are techno-scientifically sound inventions, but are often inapplicable to real world problems.
• Main reason for the inapplicability: undiscovered bottlenecks which hinder the market adoption.
• These bottlenecks can originate from the six different dimensions of the dominant socio-technical regime.

2. Innovation research and development
• Identifying and developing solutions for the diverse bottlenecks, requires integrated knowledge of multiple scientific disciplines.
• Technology is also becoming increasingly complex and dynamic.
Result: The traditional, linear, science driven approach with its uni-disciplinary focus and closed boundaries, is no longer sufficient.
• Innovation is increasingly approached from a systems perspective.
• System perspective: innovation process is nonlinear and iterative. Feedback loops are incorporated in the process to maximize learning and knowledge creation between collaborating partners.

2. Innovation research and development
• Multidisciplinary approach• Stakeholder participation and collaboration
- Multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise- Lower individual financial costs- Division of tasks- Faster time to market- Creation of legitimacy and credibility
• Non-linear and flexible trajectory • Iterative learning loops

3. Conceptual model for innovation research
Broad exploratory phase with two main objectives:
Objective 1. Identification of viable innovation pathways Important criterion: Amount of bottlenecks that hinder development
and implementation
Determining bottlenecks: - Scanning relevant literature - Stakeholder participation
Objective 2. Identification of relevant stakeholders
Relevant stakeholders: - Identify bottlenecks- Provide supporting resources
Primary sources: - Industry associations- Patent analysis - Expert interviews

The scope definition phase
Innovation impulse
Stakeholder selection

4. Empirical cases
Case 1: The high-value valorization of vegetable and fruit by-products from the agri-food industry.
Case 2: A valuable use for discards, valorizing unwanted and underutilized fish.
Case 3: The valorization of by-products from agriculture and horticulture through composting.

Broad research goal

4. Empirical cases
• Which bottlenecks and opportunities are taking into account• How were bottlenecks and opportunities identified
• Which stakeholders were identified• How were stakeholders identified • How were stakeholders consulted

Application of the scope definition phase
![Page 12: A Conceptual Model for Innovation Research in the Bio-economy](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164a6550346895dd69a5a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
5. Discussion• Opportunities and bottlenecks concerning innovation arise in
all regime dimensions Multi-dimensional perspective:

5. Discussion• The cases show how stakeholder participation can quickly expand
the knowledge of the individual organization:- In case one an additional potentially valuable by-product of
endive was discovered thanks to stakeholder interaction
• The importance of the scope definition phase as a networking phase, is also illustrated:
- Both in case one and three the innovation network expanded due to acquired contact information from other stakeholders.
• Flexible nature of the research process is illustrated in the cases: - Case one and two narrow the different possible innovation
pathways, while case three broadens the view to identify all potential bottlenecks and opportunities that different stakeholders experience.
- Case one used a focus group to double check gathered data and to receive information, other cases relied on individual interviews.
- Case three conducted some preliminary research in scope definition phase
