Regional innovation system (RIS) need information infrastructure to gather and diffuse knowledge to and from a broad range of actors. Yet we find information is rarely centralized, or even well coordinated, in the typical RIS. Through interviews with RIS leaders, literature review, and consulting experience we uncover twenty obstacles to comprehensive RIS information support. We compare the obstacles faced by grassroots RIS initiatives (typical in the USA) and government-led RIS initiatives (more typical in Asia), focusing on examples from Portland, Austin, and Daeduk. We benchmark these metro areas’ performance against an “ideal” RIS support specification, and briefly compare the ICT orientations of an RIS and a smart city. Though obstacles to information coordination fall into several categories, remedying them appears to require cultural and regulatory reform. This work has been developed with the collaboration of Urusha Thapa and Ben Matheson.

AAAI 2026

We are pleased to announce the Fortieth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-26), which will be held in Singapore EXPO from January 20 to January 27, 2026.

keynote

The 22nd International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS) brings together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of information systems. Six simultaneous tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Enterprise Information.

Digital technologies have been penetrating every aspect of business. Such pervasive deployment of digital technologies enables organisations to reinvent themselves in defining and conducting business. Leveraging the value of information as the key resource, through digital innovation such as digitisation and servitisation of products and services, becomes necessary for a business to survive and to remain competitive. Business ecosystems of the organisations and their partners have been formed through digital connectivity and digital platform which offer clearly strategic advantages and competitiveness. Interconnectivities between entities in the ecosystem are realised through multiple flows such as goods, finance and information. For a business organisation to gain competitive advantages, a successful transformation of the organisation in many dimensions are essential to allow value co-creation with other members in the ecosystem. These dimensions include mindset, culture, values, leadership, structure, process and IT systems. This keynote will discuss the notions of digital innovation and transformation, and the prerequisites and readiness for the transformation towards business ecosystems. By examining the current practice of successful examples, key findings will lead to the principles and models of organisational transformation for value co-creation and optimising benefits in the business ecosystems. This keynote will hopefully inspire practitioners and researchers to benefit from existing theoretical lenses and methods, and to derive their own guidelines and models to support organisations in digital transformation.
