- How mismatching institutional logics hinder niche–regime interaction and how boundary spanners intervene (2015, methodology): “For the purpose of this research we focus on the micro-level of boundary spanning individuals and exclude the literature on systemic intermediaries (e.g. Van Lente et al., 2003; Klerkx and Leeuwis, 2008, 2009; Kivimaa, 2014).”
- An integrative framework of stakeholder engagement for innovation management and entrepreneurship development (2020, background): “Innovation intermediaries refer to ‘an organization or body that acts as an agent or broker in any aspect of the innovation process between two or more parties’ (Klerkx and Leeuwis, 2008: p. 262). Such intermediary activities focus on: brokering a transaction among two or more parties; assisting in ”
- Enhancing innovation in livestock value chains through networks: Lessons from fodder innovation case studies in developing countries (2012, background): “Facilitation by ‘intermediary’ organizations also enhances networking and interaction as such organizations, acting as brokers, help find advice and funds supporting innovation outcomes (Klerkx and Leeuwis 2008).”
- Orchestrating innovation networks: The case of innovation brokers in the agri-food sector (2010, background): “The literature on this topic has provided an overview of the functions that these organizations may fulfil (Howells 2006 ; Johnson 2008 ; Pollard 2006 ; Winch and Courtney 2007 ), how they are organized in terms of funding, organizational model, mandate and scope (Klerkx and Leeuwis 2008b ; Kol”
- Review of agricultural extension in India: Are farmers' information needs being met? (2010, background): “8 The organization or person who will play the role of building capacity and enabling farmers to operate in the innovation system is known as the innovation broker or innovation intermediary (Klerkx and Leeuwis 2008).”
- Beyond knowledge brokering: an exploratory study on innovation intermediaries in an evolving smallholder agricultural system in Kenya (2011, background): “In this context, the demand side denotes agricultural entrepreneurs, while the supply side features R&D and Knowledge-Intensive Business Service (KIBS) actors (Clark, 2002; Leeuwis and cf van Den Ban, 2004; Klerkx and Leeuwis, 2008a).”
- National innovation systems and the intermediary role of industry associations in building institutional capacities for innovation in developing countries: a critical review of the literature (2015, background): “This work expands upon that of Klerkx and Leeuwis (2008), showing that these PFs in Mexico help facilitate the articulation of farmer’s technology needs to government and effectively links farmers, through the auspices of the Chiapas Tomato Product System – a ‘small farm’ association with 2600…”
- Innovation intermediaries and collaboration: Knowledge–based practices and internal value creation (2018, unknown): “The knowledge-intensive role of innovation intermediaries (Aldrich and von Glinow, 1992; Klerkx and Leeuwis, 2008a,b; Mount et al., 2015) heightens the need for them to systematically make use of external and internal sources of knowledge, such as employees, clients, collaborators and business (Lin…”

- Strengthening Agricultural Innovation Capacity: Are Innovation Brokers the Answer? (2009, background): “For example, in the case of KnowHouse, a Type 1 innovation broker (see Klerkx & Leeuwis, 2008d 4 ), research and extension organizations welcomed it as a demand articulator and network composer, but saw it as a competitor in the provision of certain services during the innovation process…”
