We have through our theoretical framework been able to create a simplified measuring tool for a KIZ; the S-TKL. We have found that the S-TKL is possible to implement on the Öresund Region but with some flaws. Even though the Öresund Region has implemented the mindset of a KIZ, accurate statistics are in some areas hard to find. We can also through our empirical findings say that it is difficult to use the S-TKL on Shenzhen. The data we have found gives a good indication of both of the regions. Together with our qualitative data we have been able to determine that Öresund Region are having problem, developing the three lenses simultaneously, but showing a significant effort in doing so. Shenzhen on the other hand lack even more triangulation. The picture shows a diversified region with areas influenced by the mindset of a KIZ, but also areas deeply rooted in the thinking of a SEZ. Due to insufficient data we were not able to see the difference between a SEZ and a KIZ using our S-TKL alone. What we did find though was a region in the transition towards a knowledge zone.
