The Quadruple Helix, argues the report, represents a shift towards systemic, open and user-centric innovation policy. The report was commissioned by the City of Jyväskylä in Finland, as part of the CLIQ, and undertaken by the Work Research Centre at the University of Tampere.

A CLIQ case study of conversion of an abandoned industrial area in a business park shows how the change has an impressive impact on the economy and the welfare of the region. It has also had an impact on the level of cooperation between the various stakeholders.

City of Mikkeli showcases the user-driven development of the city and its services. City of Leeuwarden examines the regional cluster development, and especially the the role of Wetsus as a European water hub.
