Transformative innovation policy (TIP) implies not only new directionality for innovation policy but also rethinking its means and scope. This requires further investigation into the role of horizontal and cross-sectoral policy programmes that may be relevant for upscaling innovation and destabilising regimes. This paper studies the national implementation, in Finland, of the European Union (EU) programme for COVID-19 recovery, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), as an example of a cross-sectoral policy programme. It is of interest, because the EU has set certain conditions related to sustainability transitions for the RRF. Using a transformative policy mix approach, the paper finds that the Finnish RRF Programme lists many policy measures that can be regarded as having a transformative intent. These include upscaling innovative sustainability niches and destabilising existing practices. Yet, we also found that there is a risk that cross-sectoral programmes fail to find overall transformative visions and fund multiple potentially competing technological pathways instead.

芬兰 COVID-19 恢复和复原力政策分析：一种变革性的政策组合方法

变革性创新政策 (TIP) 不仅意味着创新政策的新方向，而且意味着重新思考其手段和范围。这需要进一步调查横向和跨部门政策计划的作用，这些政策计划可能与升级创新和破坏稳定的制度有关。本文研究了欧盟 (EU) COVID-19 恢复计划、恢复和复原力基金 (RRF) 在芬兰的国家实施情况，作为跨部门政策计划的一个例子。这很有趣，因为欧盟已经为 RRF 设定了与可持续性转型相关的某些条件。使用变革性政策组合方法，本文发现芬兰 RRF 计划列出了许多可被视为具有变革意图的政策措施。其中包括扩大创新的可持续性利基市场和破坏现有做法的稳定性。然而，我们还发现，存在跨部门计划无法找到整体变革愿景并为多个潜在竞争技术途径提供资金的风险。
