N2  - This paper presents the first lessons learned from the design and implementation of an innovation policy through the establishment of a Regional Innovation System in the non-core region of Valais (Switzerland) aiming at creating shared value-based business models. The applied research at the basis of this policy relies on a partnership between the Entrepreneurship & Management Institute of the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland (HES-SO Valais Wallis), and the following local economic development agencies: the Valais Excellence company association, the regional brand Valais Wallis, the Valais Tourism Observatory, and the Regions- und Wirtschaftszentrum Oberwallis. Through this partnership, we apply an innovative and qualitative method aiming at co-creating innovative projects by integrating the participation of the academic, economic, politic and social environments.
