-Innovation is the multi-dimensional process of creating and institutionalising new technological, social, or organisational solutions—including products, processes, and services—that respond to grand societal challenges and create public value. In smart grid transitions, this encompasses "mission-oriented" initiatives that aim to reshape socio-technical regimes through niche development, the alignment of legal and infrastructure frameworks, and the pursuit of directional objectives.((Aigner, E., et al.

 Contemporary innovation is driven by a wide array of actors beyond traditional entrepreneurs and corporate R&D. These include "mission-oriented" actors—public and private entities collaborating to achieve societal value (e.g., grid stability, decarbonisation) rather than just market success. These actors must navigate the "categorical imperative," ensuring that new solutions are eventually accepted and valued within social practices and regulatory standards.((Frenken, K., & Punt, M. B.
