I had the pleasure of talking about bicycle manufacturing in Germany in this podcast (in German): mehrblogs.uni-jena.de/spaceconomic... There are more bicycles than cars in Germany - but the attention is on the automotive sector.

A ❤️ for the small industries! #fahrrad #bicycle

Lars Coenen (soon also on bsky) starts his keynote by concluding on the increasingly contested nature of innovation processes. He also cautions that 'experimentation' risks becoming another slogan if the meta-governance aspects are not addressed.
