About
Eleonora Psenner is a leading voice in regional innovation studies, with a sharp focus on how technological disruption reshapes labor markets and economic development. Her research centers on the structural shift from routine tasks to creative, non-routinized work, driven by robotics and artificial intelligence. In her most-cited work, “Exploiting the technology-driven structural shift to creative work in regional catching-up: toward an institutional framework” (2022, 9 citations), Psenner challenges the prevailing narrative that only a handful of high-tech regions benefit from this transformation. She develops an institutional framework showing how less-advanced regions can strategically leverage this shift to foster creative work and catch up economically, rather than fall further behind. This contribution is vital for policymakers and scholars seeking to understand how regions can build resilience and inclusive growth in the age of automation. Psenner’s work is distinguished by its forward-looking, actionable insights, bridging economic geography, institutional theory, and labor studies. Her research is already shaping conversations on how to design regional policies that turn technological disruption into an opportunity for equitable development.
