Cover Story: Existing research suggests that regions can develop their long-term competitive advantage through well-functioning innovation-driven interregional cooperation. In this article, we examine regional innovation approaches in neighbouring Dutch and German regions. Our focus is on the role of academic institutions and innovation brokers in supporting innovation in agri-food SMEs and in facilitating the establishment of a cross-border innovation space. We conclude that regional differences in knowledge infrastructures, economic structures, institutional set-ups, visions and identities can be seen as complementary strengths and should be used by regional innovation actors more strategically, thereby leading to hybridisation effects. Our findings are highly relevant for the further development of the Interreg Europe programme and the implementation of the EU’s Territorial Agenda 2030. View this paper
