提升落后地区的经济表现一直困扰着经济发展的实践者和分析师。作为解决这一难题的一种手段，本文探讨了通过公私部门倡议促进区域发展的政策干预，该倡议使用网络模型来催化创新驱动的创业精神。它侧重于由Alacrity基金会在联合王国威尔士地区运作的一个方案。本文认为，敏捷的模式提供了一种新的手段，试图通过一个方案，交织有关创业，创新和网络政策和实践的元素，以促进区域发展。它的新颖之处在于，它寻求在一个传统上在这方面并不强大的区域环境中降低创业和创新过程的风险。它的结论是，这些方案表明，政策开始接受一些想法出现在理论工作的驱动因素的区域创新和增长。
ABSTRACT Lifting the economic performance of lagging regions continues to puzzle economic development practitioners and analysts. As a means of contributing some solutions to this puzzle, this paper examines a policy intervention that promotes regional development through a public–private-sector initiative that uses a network model to catalyze innovation-driven entrepreneurship. It focuses on a programme operated by the Alacrity Foundation in the region of Wales, UK. The paper argues that Alacrity’s model offers a novel means of attempting to facilitate regional development through a programme that intertwines elements relating to entrepreneurship, innovation, and network policy and practice. It is novel in the sense that it seeks to de-risk the entrepreneurial and innovation process in a regional environment that is not traditionally strong in this respect. It is concluded that such programmes indicate that policy is beginning to embrace a number of ideas emerging from theoretical work on the drivers of regional innovation and growth.
