The Architecture of Inclusive Innovation: Governing for Sustainable Impact

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This working paper argues that innovation ecosystems are designed architectures shaped by governance, capital flows, and institutional incentives—not neutral market outcomes. Building on the work of Joseph Schumpeter, Mariana Mazzucato, and Amartya Sen, it advances a three-pillar framework—Access, Directionality, and Distribution—to embed inclusion into the foundations of innovation systems. The paper contends that sustainable impact depends on aligning productivity, social cohesion, and institutional legitimacy, positioning inclusive innovation as a structural prerequisite for long-term economic resilience.
