A third theme is that of innovation, generally, and sustainability-oriented innovation, specifically , which creates opportunities for overcoming existing transition barriers . For example, Valta  describes the role of innovation ecosystems-partnerships among companies, investors, governments and academics-in accelerating innovation . Burch et al.  describe the role of small- and medium-sized business entrepreneurship in promoting rapid innovation. Innovation extends beyond pure technology considerations to consider innovation in practices and social organisation . Zivkovic , for example, discusses 'innovation labs' as accelerators for addressing so-called wicked problems such as climate change through multi-stakeholder groups. Meanwhile, Chaminade and Randelli  describe a case study where structural preconditions and place-based agency were important drivers of transitions to organic viticulture in Tuscany, Italy.
