Drawing upon two strands of research into technology development and innovation strategies, the research question in this paper investigates how converging test sites may provide opportunities for multiple industries and regions. The paper analyzes multi-industrial test sites regarding, (i) the requirements of the social and physical environment, logistic requirements, as well as technical requirements, (ii) the added value for technology developers, as well as, (iii) the absorptive capacity of the region. Qualitative and quantitative research designs were adopted to analyze multi-industrial test sites. The results indicate that the suitability of multi-industrial test sites depends on the market and research fit of the test target, the quality of the benchmark data, as well as logistical, organizational, legal, social, and ecological factors. The study shows that multi-industrial test sites increase and strengthen the absorptive capacity of regions. Additionally, the study discusses managerial and political implications of multi-industrial test sites. Until now corporate and public test site practices have received only scant recognition in technology management literature, a gap closed by this paper.10aabsorptive capacity10aDemonstration10aExploitative Innovation10aExploratory Innovation10aMineral Exploration10aProof-of-Concept10aTest Sites1 aKesselring, Michaela1 aRuiz-Coupeau, Stéphane1 aKirsch, Moritz1 aWagner, Frank1 aGloaguen, Richard  utimreview.ca/article/145401357nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245009700055210006900152260004200221300000900263490000600272520057600278653001700854653003200871653002200903653003300925653001300958653001900971100001900990700001801009700002201027700001801049856003601067       2016                        eng d  a1927-032100aCorporate and Grassroot Frugal Innovation: A Comparison of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Strategies0 aCorporate and Grassroot Frugal Innovation A Comparison of TopDow  aOttawabTalent First Networkc04/2016  a5-170 v63 aFrugal innovations aim at the development of basic solutions that are affordable for price-sensitive customer groups. This article looks at the similarities and differences between two major approaches, corporate and grassroot frugal innovation, and identifies initial ideas on how the two streams can learn from each other. The three pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social) provide one of the guidelines for the comparison. The research is based on an analysis of case studies from various industries, six of which are presented in this article. 10acase studies10acorporate frugal innovation10afrugal innovation10agrassroots frugal innovation10astartups10asustainability1 aWohlfart, Liza1 aBünger, Mark1 aLang-Koetz, Claus1 aWagner, Frank  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/977
