Mission-oriented innovation policies (MOIP) do not operate in a vacuum. How missions align with innovation actors, infrastructures and discourses in regional contexts is an ongoing discussion. In this paper, we draw on the case of regional dialogues that aspired to facilitate exchange and learning for the missions of Germany's High-Tech Strategy (HTS). We examine the interactional process of 'regioning' MOIP that draws in diverse publics and concerns, ultimately aiming to create institutional arenas where actors from different levels and scales come together to make sense of missions. More than being explicit objects of innovation policy, regions understood through regioning are an implicit practice of policy. By moving missions between federal and regional arenas, involved actors shape a political space for articulating the directionality of innovation policy.

以任务为导向的区域创新政策：德国高科技战略中联邦和地区领域之间方向性的阐明


以任务为导向的创新政策（MOIP）并不是在真空中运作。任务如何与区域背景下的创新参与者、基础设施和话语保持一致是一个持续的讨论。在本文中，我们借鉴了区域对话的案例，旨在促进德国高科技战略（HTS）使命的交流和学习。我们研究了吸引不同公众和关注点的“区域化”MOIP 的互动过程，最终旨在创建制度舞台，让来自不同级别和规模的参与者聚集在一起，共同理解使命。通过区域划分来理解的区域不仅是创新政策的明确对象，而且是政策的隐含实践。通过在联邦和地区舞台之间转移任务，相关参与者塑造了阐明创新政策方向性的政治空间。
