Quadruple Helix Relational Approach to Recycling Fishing Nets: Cluster Development in the Norwegian West Coast Region

Abstract

The study presented in this chapter takes the quadruple helix relational perspective to develop a regional innovation cluster for fishing nets recycling and upcycling. A multi-method approach is proposed—triangulating cluster development approaches with the quadruple helix model of innovation and organisational network analysis—to explore clustering abilities by network structures that promote linkages for well-organised circular value chains, regional innovation processes, brokerage of innovative ideas and other cluster-related structures, and relational patterns.
