The<scp>S</scp>wedish system of innovation: Regional synergies in a knowledge‐based economy

Loet Leydesdorff, Øivind Strand · 2013 · Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology

Summary. Sweden's innovation system is highly centralized, with three metropolitan regions—Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö/Lund—generating nearly half of all regional synergy. Using firm-level data and a triple helix framework, the authors measure how geographical, technological, and organizational dimensions interact to create knowledge synergies. The analysis reveals Sweden operates as a hierarchically organized system rather than a distributed regional network.
