This lecture will introduce the concept of demand-side innovation policy, explain why and when they are justified and present and discuss a typology of instruments. It will then discuss the major challenges of demand-side policy instruments which all too often are not known to or underestimated by policy makers. The lecture will highlight some of those challenges using the example of public procurement of innovation, and will close with an appeal to a radically new way of understanding and applying innovation policy.
