| Summary: | Traditional industry regions like Värmland, Sweden are under increasing pressure to digitalise, a transition that raises broader social and governance challenges for regional actors. RRI has been promoted at EU level as a framework to guide such transformations, however there is limited understanding of how RRI principles are implemented in practice. The case of digitalisation transformation process of Värmland provided an opportunity to further explore how RRI is implemented in practice. This article explores how RRI was operationalised through the DigiTeRRI project, and how it aided in shaping the regional digitalisation transformation policy and collaborative practices. A key finding is that by involving regional actors early in the process and fostering a sense of ownership contributed to the implementation of RRI measures. This study contributes to both RRI scholarship and regional policy practice by offering insights into the situated application of RRI in territorial digital transformation processes. |
