and the unfolding innovation journeys of technology development have not been developed to date. Such scenarios require insight into co-evolutionary dynamics,
the metaphor of the innovation journey has been used; it refers to the complex twists and turns in the emergence of a new product 5. Innovation is characterized nonlinear,
the stuff of innovation journeys. However, for breakthrough technologies, the factors that shape the pathways may be evolving too!
Co-evolutionary scenarios were developed as a theory-informed approach to capture the complexities of innovation journeys
and shift with respect to unfolding innovation journeys. There is a gap in capturing the shifting natures of the selection environments and mechanisms of action 14
with little or no focus on the actual shaping dynamics on the innovation journey in the literature.
+a mosaic of arenas for innovation and selection At the time of the Constructive TA project, a method of combining ideas of innovation journeys amidst evolving landscapes (coevollutio of innovation/selection processes
Thus the innovation journey (represented in Fig. 1 as a branching line) is made up of a path to innovation (a pathway represented by the bubbles in the centre of Fig. 1) where the emerging technology itself

Coupling endogenous futures with characteristics of innovation journeys (from historical case studies) within the framework of the IC+framework helps us structure the complexities
and anticipation of possible problems in the innovation journey increase these chances of success. 12 To this end,
I have placed innovation journeys at the micro-level, technology developer coordination attempts at the meso-level and selector coordination and control at the macro-level.
Innovation journeys shift from gestation period to start-up phase. This section also illustrates techno start-up strategies..Similar developments can be seen for crime scene investigation and civil security technologies, where advanced diagnostics,
small companies begin to commercialise this technology Broader context of comparable innovation journeys: these other fields are added to compare to the medical device innovation journeys later in the scenario..
A case of focused national initiatives can be seen. One example, Finland begins to invest in nanotechnology for paper processing (a major contributor to the Finnish economy) Anticipatory coordination and lock in:
and that twists and turns are to be expected as well (characteristic of innovation journeys). While in the annotated scenario, the Finnish worker case,
