Transformative innovation policy has recently emerged at the intersection of innovation and socio-technical transition research. It has provided valuable heuristics to guide policy; but it has also led to the recognition of major challenges in the management of uncertainty and complexity. In this paper, we address these challenges by linking transformative innovation policy with research perspectives from (i) complex adaptive systems, (ii) ecosystems, and (iii) adaptive and participatory governance. Specifically, we develop a conceptual framework for transformative governance, which seeks to improve the adaptiveness and resilience of the ecosystem and orchestrates socio-technical transformation based on the balanced presence of diversity, connectivity, polycentricity, redundancy and directionality. We also present an illustrative example by applying the framework to a Finnish policy reform in which the lack of balanced attention to the ecosystem features catalysed major shortcomings in an emerging innovation mobility ecosystem. Finally, we explore the implications for the design of individual policies and policy mixes which arise from the recognition of complexity and the holistic policy impacts on the ecosystem and society at large.

最近在创新和社会技术转型研究的交叉点上出现了转型创新政策。它为指导政策提供了宝贵的启发；但它也导致人们认识到管理不确定性和复杂性方面的重大挑战。在本文中，我们通过将变革性创新政策与来自 (i) 复杂适应系统、(ii) 生态系统和 (iii) 适应性和参与性治理的研究观点联系起来来应对这些挑战。具体来说，我们开发了一个变革治理的概念框架，旨在提高生态系统的适应性和弹性，并根据多样性、连通性、多中心性、冗余和方向性的平衡存在来协调社会技术转型。我们还通过将该框架应用于芬兰政策改革来展示一个说明性示例，其中对生态系统特征缺乏平衡的关注导致了新兴创新移动生态系统的主要缺陷。最后，我们探讨了对个别政策和政策组合设计的影响，这些政策和政策组合源于对复杂性的认识以及对整个生态系统和社会的整体政策影响。
