This important and timely Research Handbook explores recent scholarship on industry innovation and demonstrates that the key to a sustainable future is a successful transition to a circular bioeconomy.Global case studies are analysed to illustrate the motivations, factors, ecosystems, and barriers surrounding circular bioeconomies. The authors discuss and evaluate innovations from diverse industries, including agri-food, marine biorefinery, insect farming, and waste management. They also shed light on firm-level innovation to better understand possible solutions for a successful transition into a circular bioeconomy, advancing current thinking in the field. The empirical and theoretical work presented offers new directions for future research into a circular bioeconomy.This Research Handbook is a vital reference for researchers of innovation, circular bioeconomies, climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals. It is also of great interest to industry practitioners across agriculture and manufacturing, who can use the insights presented to guide their own sustainable decision-making.

The transition to a circular economy requires innovation at all levels of society. This insightful Research Handbook is the first comprehensive edited work examining how innovation can contribute to a more circular economy.Illustrating the critical part played by individuals, organisations and system-level actors in the development of circular innovations, this Research Handbook demonstrates that while many firms are working towards a circular economy, most of the innovations are incremental. Hence, the loop is far from closed, and much more radical work remains to be done by both academics and practitioners. The content and structure reflect a multi-level understanding of innovation for a circular economy, with conceptual chapters and strong empirical research with both quantitative and qualitative research designs. Highlighting the urgent need for a circular economy, authors call for more comprehensive and radical innovation efforts to achieve it.This Research Handbook will be an invaluable resource for academics and students of innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as those more broadly interested in the circular economy. Practitioners and policymakers will also find this useful for providing practical examples of how to understand innovation processes and frameworks that contribute to a circular economy.

This insightful and comprehensive Research Handbook explores the concept of start-up incubation ecosystems and investigates the various factors that interact to provide a nurturing environment suitable for the creation and successful development of start-ups.Chapters employ a range of approaches for the study of incubation ecosystems, including literature reviews, theoretical studies, and empirical research featuring both quantitative and qualitative methods. An international team of authors analyze data from a diverse range of countries to cover topics including: multi-level approaches to incubation ecosystems; start-up support mechanisms such as incubators, accelerators and co-working spaces; and the role of organizations involved in incubation ecosystems such as universities, government agencies and multinational companies. The Handbook thus illustrates the critical part played by the early development of start-ups within entrepreneurial ecosystems.Scholars and doctoral students working in entrepreneurship and innovation will find this Handbook invaluable to their understanding of start-up incubation ecosystems and in illuminating future research agendas. It will also prove useful to practitioners and policymakers working with start-ups and organizations that support them.Contributors include: B.W. Amo, C. Bellavitis, P. Benneworth, P.M. Bican, A.
