Mission-Oriented Innovation

Mission-oriented innovation, attributed to economist Mariana Mazzucato, describes how tackling major societal challenges directly can open up new opportunities for innovation.
The book's single mention of this methodology attributes it to Mariana Mazzucato: 'Mariana Mazzucato in Mission Economy discusses how mission-oriented innovation, often driven by societal challenges, can spur opportunities.' This appears within the Commission Component's Environment Dimension, under its 'Opportunities' sub-dimension, which frames how 'an apparent challenge, when viewed creatively, can often reveal hidden opportunities for improvement, disruption, or systemic change.'
