-"Missions are measurable, ambitious and time-bound targets that have the potential to become one of the most significant vehicles for change. They work to tackle complex challenges such as climate change and global health challenges, by taking a purpose-oriented, market-shaping approach. The public sector takes an active role in convening and coordinating actors around complex, cross-sectoral issues that cannot be solved by individual actors alone.  Achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 is an example of a mission-oriented innovation approach to formulating climate goals."+<WRAP intro>

-===== Mission-oriented innovation [OECD] =====+===== Why this matters =====
  
-"Mission-oriented innovation provides a policy framework for tackling the grand challenges facing governments today. The facet model supports governments to formulate measurable, ambitious and time-bound goals, and is often supported by three interlinked policy structures: institutional entrepreneurship and mission governance that enable collaboration and experimentation, available funding for a portfolio of missions, and the adoption of outcome-based procurement. Mission-oriented innovation thereby supports **inclusive governance, progressive politics, generative environments and systemic impact**."+<WRAP callout>

-===== Types of mission-oriented innovation. [Larrue (2021)] =====+Mission-oriented innovation policy is a coordinated package of policy and regulatory measures designed to mobilise innovation toward well-defined societal objectives within a defined timeframe. These measures span different stages of the innovation cycle, from research through demonstration to deployment. They combine supply-push and demand-pull instruments across policy fields, sectors, and disciplines.((OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation. (n.d.). //Mission-oriented innovation//. OECD OPSI. https://oecd-opsi.org/work-areas/mission-oriented-innovation/))

-===== Mission-oriented innovation policy [OECD] =====+Mission-oriented innovation is typically enabled by three interlinked policy structures: institutional entrepreneurship and mission governance (including coordination mechanisms and innovation labs), dedicated funding (which influences policy coordination, institution building, and risk-taking), and public procurement (a demand-based instrument to incentivise partners to generate new solutions).((OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation. (n.d.). //Facets of mission-oriented innovation//. OECD OPSI. https://oecd-opsi.org/publications/facets-mission/))
  
-"A mission-oriented innovation includes any new or improved technological, social and organisational solution (product, process or service) that aims to respond to one or several of the grand societal challenges (missions) and create public value to society (e.g., climate mitigation, clean oceans, sustainable economic growth and well-being etc.).+===== Perspectives =====
  
-Supporting the development and diffusion of such innovations often requires specific policy interventions. **Mission-oriented innovation policy** is a co-ordinated package of policy and regulatory measures specifically tailored to mobilise innovation to address well-defined societal objectives  in a defined timeframe. These measures can span across different stages of the innovation cycle, from research to demonstration and market deployment, mix supply-push and demand-pull instruments and cut across various policy fields, sectors and disciplines."+<WRAP perspectives>

-===== Enablling three interlinked policy structures [OECD] =====+</WRAP>
  
-"While many factors influence missions, current evidence indicates that mission-oriented innovation is often enabled by three interlinked policy structures: institutional entrepreneurship and mission governance, funding missions and public procurement.+===== Distinctions and overlaps =====
  
-  * **Institutional entrepreneurship** highlights the need for an institutional infrastructure to discuss, design and implement the directions of innovation systems. This can include the creation of new or repurposing of existing co-ordination mechanisms (e.g. missions boards created by the European Union) as well as the creation of innovation and policy labs. +===== Related topics =====
-  * **Funding** is an important factor in mission-oriented innovation, especially in regard to its influence on policy co-ordination, institution building and risk taking. Governments can repurpose or upgrade existing funding mechanisms or institutions to be more mission-oriented or create entirely new funding mechanisms and institutions. +
-  * **Public procurement** is one of the key enabling conditions for mission-oriented policies. It is a demand-based instrument to incentivise private and third-sector partners to generate new solutions or adjust their production-related processes to a mission."+
