Summary/Abstract: The article deals with mission-oriented innovation policy, which puts at the forefront of solving societal challenges and is becoming increasingly important. Policymakers at European, national and regional level are therefore gradually focusing on this form of innovation policy. The aim of this paper is to introduce the role of missionoriented innovation policy and to raise awareness of its use especially at the regional level. The research methods used in the paper are a search of scientific literature and an analysis of selected regions in North Brabant and Baden-Württemberg that have applied elements of mission-oriented innovation policy in their regional innovation policy. The integration of these elements did not cause a radical change in the existing innovation policy instruments mix. However, first attempts and concrete projects towards addressing societal challenges can be noted. Both regions can be viewed as pioneers of this policy in Europe.
