Most existing innovation theories imply departure from an established industry recipe.Although they offer good insight into established sectors and companies, they are less suited for understanding high tech sectors and the start-up companies in them. Through a series ofin-depth interviews in three high tech sectors (biopharmacy, medical devices and nanomaterials) we construct an alternative model that is better suited to this end. It regroups companies according to the processes of productification and strategic shift and does not presume an industry context or recipe to be present. This new model pays special attention to the role of networks in the innovation processes.
