Socio-spatial Structures of knowledge Flow and Innovation in the Irish Biotech and Digital Media Industries

This Deliverable reports the results of Task 11.1 of the second phase of the OPAALS Project. Task 11.1 is part of WP11, which focuses on bridging the gap between Digital Ecosystems research and Regional Development and Innovation in the Knowledge Economy. The objective of WP11 was to bring together the theoretical deliberations surrounding the Digital ecosystems concept and the practical concerns of regional development policy.
