Popis:	The aim of this paper is to explore the readiness for the quadruple helix in 16 European innovation ecosystems, all within medium-sized cities. Based on qualitative empirical research, we present and analyze the current innovation architecture to support cooperation, cospecialization, and coopetition between actors, and the main functions carried out within the system. This allows us to discuss whether quadruple-helix innovation architecture (Q-HIA) evolves from triple-helix architectures. We also aim to provide some hints on when, how, and why Q-HIA exists. This research can contribute to the definition and streamlining of the role of local and regional actors, mainly policy makers, within the innovation ecosystem. Lessons may be transferred to many medium-sized cities as they battle to remain competitive in the context of increasing global competition and scale threats.
