About

Nicola Farronato is a researcher focused on the intersection of innovation ecosystems, disruptive technologies, and sustainability transitions. His work examines how emerging technologies can be effectively adopted to foster more sustainable societies, with a particular emphasis on identifying both the synergies and barriers that shape their uptake. In his most-cited paper, "Identifying Synergies and Barriers to the Adoption of Disruptive Technologies for Sustainable Societies - An Innovation Ecosystem Perspective" (2022, 4 citations), Farronato maps the adoption of disruptive technologies among businesses in Italy’s Piedmont region, offering a nuanced view of how innovation ecosystems can either enable or hinder progress toward sustainability goals. This research highlights the critical role of regional context and stakeholder collaboration in driving technological change. Farronato’s contributions are valuable for policymakers and practitioners seeking to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and competitive economy. His work underscores the importance of understanding local dynamics in the global push for sustainability, making him a thoughtful voice in the field of innovation studies.
