Abstract:
Mission-Oriented Innovation Policies (MOIPs) are emerging in governments worldwide. MOIPs provide strong directional innovation policies which are intended to mobilize actors across sectors to tackle grand societal challenges. During a period of seventeen months, the Dutch government articulated a total of twenty-five missions spanning four societal themes: Energy Transition and Sustainability; Agriculture, Water and Food; Health & Care; and Security, and solicited commitment from a wide number of coalition partners for an annual investment of almost 4.9 billion Euros. This case report provides a detailed, retrospective outline of the initiation and implementation of the Dutch MOIP for the societal theme Health & Care. It discusses procedural and administrative processes as well as pitfalls, successes and lessons learned; with the objective of providing insight into the Dutch experience of MOIP implementation.
