Abstract

Innovation processes are becoming increasingly central, and newer industries have become already less resource-intensive in comparison with the traditional ones. Nevertheless, this alone does not assure sustainability, which requires a step further towards economically viable, environmentally compatible, and socially responsible behaviours. This chapter addresses the issues relating to sustainable development to provide a critical discussion on the potential role played by networking relationships in the biotech field. For the purposes of the study, we employ the co-management and multi-stakeholder perspectives. We demonstrate that the biotechnology research results may be enhanced thanks to cooperation dynamics and interactions among heterogeneous actors, with undeniable cultural and social positive impacts. Also, we discuss social implications and open concerns, both with regard to the relationships within innovative networks and between institutional professional actors, allowing the identification of any grey areas and limitations, especially relevant to policy makers.
