11. Industry organizations and more Research Education Involvement Commercialization Companies in need of new products and services provided by the product owners, and the knowledge and competence generate from. Searching competence and knowledge provided by the system. The companies planning to commercialize the result generated in the R&D projects.. Searching relations to and business with the application companies in the system. Also searching contact with researchers with relevant research focus. Research groups doing research in technology and application areas that the system is focusing on. Searching ”research cases” but also different types of resources for their own research area. Stakeholders (regional, national, international) with finacial resources that can support the activities in the system, receiving growth in return. Searching the delivery capacity that the system has in specific application areas. Other growth actors Support Competence partner Channels M & R&D ”Case”, resources Growth The innovation system model Industry programs Technology Clusters Industry Adv board Research- staff (one) Primary Industries (process, manufact.)
