Abstract

The regional innovation policies so far have been separated from the social problems facing the local communities. The regional innovation policies, regarding the region as the location of the business, have focused on the invigoration of business innovation activities. However, as the recent emergence of the new paradigm of innovation policy aiming the sustainability, 'transformative innovation policy,' has led to a search for regional innovation policies that begin with solving the local social problems. This research paper deals with regional innovation theory that starts from searching for solutions and system transformation for social problems such as climate crisis and energy problems. The objective is to present a new framework called 'transformative regional innovation policy' and to improve its content through case studies by combining the results of the transformative innovation policy and the regional innovation policy studies. In particular, the contribution of this paper is to analyze and discuss the concept of the transition platform, which aims to solve the local social problems, through the case studies of Gussing, Austria and Esbjerg, Denmark. Lastly, it discusses the derived implications of the cases applied in Korean society.

지금까지 추진되었던 지역혁신정책들은 지역사회가 직면하고 있는 사회문제와는 별개로 진행되었다. 지역혁신정책은 지역을 산업입지로 바라보고 그 안에서 이루어지는 기업들의 혁신활동 활성화에 초점을 맞추었다. 그러나 최근 지속가능성을 지향하는 새로운 혁신정책 패러다임인 '전환적 혁신정책'이 등장하면서 지역이 직면하고 있는 사회문제 해결에서 출발하는 지역혁신 정책에 대한 모색이 이루어지고 있다. 이 글에서는 지역이 직면한 기후 위기나 에너지 문제와 같은 사회문제 해결과 시스템 전환을 지역혁신의 출발점으로 설정하는 지역혁신론을 다룬다. 전환적 혁신정책론과 지역혁신 연구에서 이루어진 성과들을 종합하여 '전환적 지역혁신론이라고 할 수 있는 새로운 틀을 제시하고 사례연구를 통해 그 내용을 심화하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 특히, 지역의 사회문제 해결에 초점을 맞추는 전환플랫폼 개념에 대해서 주목하면서, 오스트리아 귀씽과 덴마크 에스비아르의 사례를 분석하고 토론한다. 마지막으로 이런 사례가 한국 사회에 주는 시사점에 대해서도 토론해 본다.
