Abstract

In the context of the pressing challenges posed by global issues such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, there is a growing recognition of the need for innovative approaches within policy frameworks. The paper explores the intersection of innovation policy and sustainable development, aiming to uncover new avenues for fostering socio-economic and environmental sustainability. By examining the case of the Czech Republic, this study provides a nuanced understanding of how the country strategically shifted from smart specialisation strategies (S3) to a more advanced mission-oriented approach (S4). The introduction of missions within the S3 serves as a relevant example that illustrates the Czech Republic's commitment to addressing current challenges and aligning with global goals such as the European Green Deal and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
