The need to view innovation policy through the lens of policy mixes has gained momentum given the growing complexity, the dynamics of real-world policy and the wide array of difficulties to address the current great societal challenges, notably the increasing pressure on the ecosystems that support our society. One of the main challenges concerning the transition towards bioeconomy, is to gain a more in-depth understanding on the policy mix to stimulate innovation in sustainability transitions.

Our paper aims at enriching the portfolio of empirical case studies on policy mixes for innovation and sustainable transitions, by investigating the development of the policy mix underpinning the sustainability transition of the pulp and paper industry in Sweden.

We apply a case study approach which draws on event history analysis, semi-structured interviews with industry and policy makers, literature reviews, a participative workshop with stakeholders from the pulp and paper industry, as well as on the IEA databases on climate change and energy efficiency policies and measures.

Our analysis emphasises coordination, timing and scale in policy mixes as important elements to understand how instruments interact to accelerate sustainability transitions. The mapping of the policy mix shows that destabilising policies were crucial for accelerating the transition process of the industry. Prior to novelty creation policies, destabilising policies (e.g. environmental policies) were needed for 'innovation policy instruments' to be effective.

More specific instruments (e.g. carbon tax), targeting particular functions of the innovation systems, require 'on-the-ground' policy intelligence and benefit from close interaction with industry.

考虑到复杂性的增加，现实世界政策的动态变化以及应对当前巨大社会挑战的各种困难，尤其是对支持生态系统的压力越来越大，从政策组合的角度来审视创新政策的需求已得到推动。我们的社会。关于向生物经济过渡的主要挑战之一是，要对促进可持续发展过渡中的创新的政策组合有更深入的了解。

本文旨在通过研究支持瑞典制浆造纸业可持续发展转型的政策组合的发展，丰富有关创新和可持续转型的政策组合的经验案例研究的组合。

我们采用案例研究方法，该方法利用事件历史分析，对行业和政策制定者的半结构化访谈，文献综述，与制浆造纸业利益相关者的参与性研讨会以及IEA关于气候变化和能源的数据库效率政策和措施。

我们的分析强调政策组合中的协调，时机和规模，这是了解工具如何相互作用以加速可持续性转变的重要元素。政策组合的映射表明，不稳定的政策对于加速行业的转型过程至关重要。在制定新颖性政策之前，需要采取破坏稳定的政策（例如环境政策）才能使“创新政策工具”生效。

针对创新系统的特定功能的更具体的工具（例如碳税）需要“实地”政策情报，并要从与行业的紧密互动中受益。
