Tromsø; characteristics of the region
• Largest city in Northern Norway
• Growth centre (population growth) in a stagnating region
• Large share of public sector jobs; university, hospital, administration
• Well-functioning labour market with a relatively low level of disabled people

The marine biotechnology industry in Tromsø
• Marine biotech uses species from the sea to create medicine and other health care products
• Based on analytical knowledge from Tromsø university (biotech, medicine) started about 30 years ago
• Relatively few firms and jobs survived during the 30 years (15-20 firms, 120-150 jobs)

Tromsø; type of RIS
• The knowledge generation subsystem is relatively large; consisting of many knowledge institutions
• Many policy tools have been used in order to boost the commercialisation of research results
• Despite of this the knowledge exploiting subsystem is small and weak

Tromsø; possible research questions
• Why has not all the public support (university, use of policy tools) resulted in a stronger marine biotech industry?

Raufoss; characteristics of the region
• An old industrial region in transformation
• Stability in population
• Stagnation in employment and a labour marked that has produced a relatively high share of people with disability

The light weight material industry at Raufoss
• The industry structure has transformed from a single, state owned company towards a diversified structure of companies
• The common core is know how about light material and production methods
![Page 9: Norwegian cases in the CRA-project Team meeting in Utrech February 11-13, 2008](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551a6aee550346b52d8b4cd3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Raufoss; characteristics of the RIS
• The industry is connected to the national knowledge generation system of light material and production technology
• The industry is connected to global production networks
![Page 10: Norwegian cases in the CRA-project Team meeting in Utrech February 11-13, 2008](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551a6aee550346b52d8b4cd3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Raufoss; possible research questions
• Is it possible to build a regional innovation system in a local industry incorporated in global production networks and national knowledge networks?

• The capital of Norway, and by far the largest city-region in the country
• Faster population growth than the rest of Norway, but somewhat lower job growth in the period 2000-2005
• High share of highly educated, and a high share of knowledge-intensive services (but a low share of high-tech manufacturing industry)

The cultural industries in Oslo
• The cultural industries are a heterogeneous group of sectors
• Oslo is the definite centre for the cultural industries in Norway, with about 30,000 jobs and a LQ of 2.1
• The cultural industries are characterised by many small firms and freelancers, organisation of much activity through projects, and a need for flexibility on the firm and network level
• The concentration to Oslo is to a large extent explained by proximity to the largest marked and to potential clients, proximity to higher education institutions, and opportunities to find specialised knowledge to carry out projects

Oslo; type of RIS
• The cultural industries in Oslo is ‘organisationally thick’; having national support organisation, higher education institutions, national branch organisations, local organisations that arrange specific events etc.
• There seems to be a lot of small projects targeting specific parts of the cultural industries or focusing on specific aims
• The regional policy targeting the cultural industries is in an initial phase striving to formulate its strategy and tools

Oslo; possible research questions
• Is to possible or required to formulate a common strategy based on the RIS concept for such a fragmented industry?
• What is the main mechanisms behind the development of different parts of the cultural industries?
