WHITE SPACES INNOVATION IN SWEDENFigure 3.11 Region Skåne´s Two Strategic Grand Challenges <strong>Innovation</strong> Plat<strong>for</strong>mTourismProductionTechnologyLogisticsTra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gRegionsSusta<strong>in</strong>able CitiesSBHUBMobileHeightsLifeScienceMunicipalInitiativesMaterialsSciencePersonal HealthHealthcareFoodAcademyMediaEvolutionIn the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g space, it is necessary to summarise the ma<strong>in</strong> „transversalities‟ <strong>in</strong>each of the clusters <strong>in</strong> the Region Skåne <strong>in</strong>novation system discussed above, which isprovided <strong>in</strong> Table 3.2. This shows recognition that regional <strong>in</strong>dustries have sufferedsignificant shocks from Climate Change, Energy Scarcity, Corporate „global shift‟ anddownsiz<strong>in</strong>g, and Healthcare issues such as age<strong>in</strong>g of the population. In different ways,as with SFIN and Mobile Heights, the response to de-stabilisation is to engage <strong>in</strong> some<strong>for</strong>m of „plat<strong>for</strong>m-build<strong>in</strong>g‟ among clusters to produce <strong>in</strong>novate solutions with regional<strong>in</strong>dustry neighbours. L<strong>in</strong>kage is particularly pronounced towards the „gam<strong>in</strong>g‟ technologiesof Media Evolution, and to SFIN. The technology projects they are work<strong>in</strong>g on<strong>in</strong>clude: susta<strong>in</strong>able technologies; new k<strong>in</strong>ds of „crowd‟ or user-driven <strong>in</strong>novation; andthe use of gam<strong>in</strong>g and simulation to stimulate learn<strong>in</strong>g and change management <strong>in</strong>meet<strong>in</strong>g the shocks imposed by Grand Challenges such as Climate Change.58
