Following its development and first application in 2001 in a Nordic project on<br>small- and medium-size enterprises and regional innovation systems (Asheim and<br>Coenen 2005), the differentiated knowledge base approach has provided the theoretical background for numerous empirical studies. It has also proven to be a<br>powerful concept for informing a reorientation of regional innovation policies. A<br>good example in this regard was the study on constructing regional advantage,<br>which was undertaken in the period 2004–2006 on behalf of the European<br>Commission (Asheim, Boschma, and Cooke 2006). It aimed at laying the foundations for providing a new broad-based innovation policy for European regions.<br>Later it has informed the European Commission’s smart specialization strategy,<br>which is largely based on a broad innovation policy approach. The differentiated<br>knowledge base approach was taken further in a large European Science Foundation<br>431 INTRODUCTION<br>Vol. 93 No. 5 2017<br>project (2007–2010), where eight countries participated (Asheim, Moodysson, and<br>Tödtling 2011)
