Regional Intelligence
Regional intelligence belongs to a new family of concepts, such as business intelligence, territorial competitive intelligence, strategic economic intelligence, distributed intelligence, social or collective intelligence, emphasizing the organized and systemic collection, analysis, and dissemination of information for business and development purposes.
6
Business Intelligence
• Business intelligence is the basis for this conceptual setting. It is defined as an activity to overview the internal and external environment of a company, with the intention of finding information that can be incorporated into management processes. It is an organized procedure in the service of the strategic management of the company, aiming to improve its competitiveness by the collection, treatment and dissemination of information useful for controlling its environment.

Business Intelligence
• Business intelligence is mainly a company activity. It has evolved out of traditional decision-support systems which gradually incorporated in-house databases (~ 1985), data warehousing (~1995), customer relationship management (~2000), and integrated business intelligence applications (~ 2003). From this evolution, it has the potential to deliver enormous payback to the company, but demands unprecedented integration of knowledge about customers, competition, market conditions, vendors, products, and the entire supply chain [22].

Regional Intelligence
At the other side of business intelligence is regional or territorial intelligence. This may be defined as an informational nexus linking the actors of a locality. It is a network allowing ‘an observation strategy towards the competitors, the markets and the environment. These practices lead to an economic intelligence approach, which, when applied to the territory, is called territorial intelligence’.

Regional Intelligence Definition
• It is a localized network of distributed informational modules;
• It is developed by third party organizations for the welfare of a territory, locality or region;
• It uses human and artificial intelligence in the collection, processing, and dissemination of information;
• It communicates via the Internet; and • It is integrated so effectively that its constituting
parties become indistinguishable for the external user.

RF can be defined as a systematic, participatory process, involving gathering intelligence and building visions for the medium-to-long-term future, and aimed at informing present-day decisions and mobilizing joint actions.
RF involves thinking about emerging opportunities, challenges, trends and discontinuities; however, the aim is not to produce insights about the future, but to bring together key regional actors and regional sources of knowledge and develop strategic visions and anticipatory intelligence.
4. Regional Foresight

IV. Information integration
33
• Ex-ante integration is centralized integration and presupposes early stage co-ordination between the partners involved. The agreement starts from the design of the core informational modules in order to allow interoperability and common standards in data entry, data communication and exchange, and search functions.
• Meta-search integration is lower level integration, less centralized, but more open and expandable. Regional organizations develop the core information modules separately, but allow agents and integration servers to work on their system.
• Targeted integration is a step forward. It is based on centralized or decentralized structuring of informational modules, but also includes an active information processing team which creates new content from the combination of distributed information.
