My attendance at HCII 2022 is over and I can say that I enjoyed participating! Having the chance to listen to interesting talks and deliver my presentation on ‘enabling big data driven analysis to detect innovation city patterns and emerging innovation ecosystems at the local level’, has been an enriching experience.            

I was so eager to share my published paper, a first attempt to understand the capabilities of innovation performance measurement toolkits at the sub-regional (local) level to incorporate big data analytics.
Few key points:
> Several studies have concluded with the consideration that local innovation indexes might be useful sources of information for policymakers, given the fact that microregions appear to have specific strengths and weaknesses in terms of innovation and therefore they face specific challenges and require differentiated policies even within a given region.  
> Although data mining and big data analysis in the urban environment has grown exponentially in recent decades, the organization and execution of how we interact with this data and use it for identifying innovation city patterns are still in great need of advancement.
