Innovation is critical to growth and development in Africa. In the context of a continent characterized by fast growing economies as well as an array of socioeconomic challenges, such as high levels of poverty and inequality, innovation in Africa must be understood in an encompassing manner. Africa needs to support the emergence of its own Silicon Valleys, but it must also foster the invention and adoption of cleaner technologies that limit respiratory illnesses, deforestation and combat climate change. This book contains a number of analytical case studies that examine the nature and origins of emerging high-end innovation hubs in Africa. These 'hubs' or ecosystems are both understudied and little known inside and outside the continent. With this analysis, the book highlights and draws lessons from some of the most promising and successful innovation cases in Africa today, exploring the key factors driving their successful emergence, growth and future prospects. Relevant for scholars, policymakers, and business leaders, the book provides both inspiration and useful policy advice that can inform strategies and concrete measures to speed up the pace of innovation in Africa today.

A la fin des années 1990, la Région du Grand Helsinki s’est affirmée comme un pôle économique compétitif à l’échelle internationale. Cet examen passe en revue les facteurs ayant contribué à cette réussite et les nouveaux enjeux qui en découlent en matière de développement. L’économie finlandaise est fortement tributaire du secteur de la téléphonie mobile et des télécommunications en général, ce qui préoccupe sérieusement les pouvoirs publics. Aujourd’hui, le positionnement stratégique de la grappe industrielle du secteur des TIC finlandais se fonde sur un scénario associant profits élevés et prise de risques considérables. Le maintien de la compétitivité de la région sur le long terme exige une stratégie de diversification plus fine, autrement dit le développement des activités du secteur des TIC bien au-delà du cadre de la grappe industrielle actuelle. L’inclusion sociale constitue également une question cruciale. La persistance du chômage chez les personnes à faible niveau de formation et les disparités croissantes en matière de revenu nécessitent une restructuration des politiques appliquées dans le passé. La Région du Grand Helsinki doit trouver de nouvelles façons de promouvoir la cohésion sociale. Conséquence de l’accroissement de la compétitivité économique, la rapidité de la croissance démographique exige de réitérer les engagements en faveur d’une croissance maîtrisée et d’un développement compact. Tous ces enjeux nécessitent une meilleure coordination métropolitaine, les besoins en la matière étant ici examinés successivement. L’examen territorial d'Helsinki s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’examens territoriaux nationaux et thématiques, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général de la série des examens régionaux thématiques est de fournir des recommandations pratiques de politique aux gouvernements dans trois domaines: la gouvernance à plusieurs niveaux, le développement durable aux échelons régional et local, et les réseaux régionaux au service de la compétitivité.
