Step 1 – Analysis of regional context and potential for innovation (I)

Analysis of the regional context:

� A wide view of innovation, not only RTD-oriented

� Assess existing regional assets

� Identify regional competitive advantage

� Detect emerging niches for smart specialisation

� Combine methods: regional profiling; SWOT approach; surveys

Step 1 – Analysis of regional context and potential for innovation (II)

Outward-looking analysis:

� Assess regional positioning within the EU

� Be aware of the positioning of companies within international value chains and markets

� Flows and absorption of external knowledge and skills

� Avoid “blind” duplication, discover possibilities for collaboration

� Combine methods: studies; interviews; interregional work groups

Step 1 – Analysis of regional context and potential for innovation (III)

Analysis of entrepreneurial dynamics and identification offuture opportunities:

� Different types of entrepreneurial actors, not just firms

� Liveliness of the business/entrepreneurial environment

� Involvement of entrepreneurial actors in the regional economy

� Identify economic differentiation potential

� Combine methods: consultation with firms, clusters; technological audits; foresight studies

Step 2 – Governance: Ensuring participation and ownership

Wide participation of stakeholders of different type and level:

� Include demand-side perspectives � Quadruple Helix

� Collaborative leadership

Step 3 – Elaboration of an overall vision for the future of the region

Shared vision of the potential of the region and main direction for its international positioning:

� Form a realistic scenario based on analyses

� Produce a positive tension towards the future

� Guarantee long-term engagement of stakeholders

� Mobilizing power

Step 4 – Identification of priorities

Decision-making step, where top-down meets bottom-up:

� Focus on a limited number of areas with potential for smart specialisation as emerged from entrepreneurial discovery

� Areas where the region hope to excel

� Pay attention to horizontal priorities (Key Enabling Technologies, social innovation, etc.)

� Avoid capture by interest groups!

Step 5 – Definition of coherent policy mix, roadmaps and action plan

Organizing and detailing rules and tools:

� Road map composed of:

� Action plan � target groups, objectives, timeframes, indicators, sources of funding and budget allocations

� Pilot projects � experiment unprecedented policy mixes, obtain inputs for updating the strategy

Step 6 – Integration of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms

Mechanisms integrated in the strategy:

� Monitoring � to verify the correct and efficient implementation of activities

� Evaluation � to verify whether and how strategic goals are met

Importance of ex-ante setting of measurable targets and output/outcome indicators

(Peer) Review and update of RIS3

Formulating and implementing a RIS3 is a continuous process:

� Need to regularly adapt and update the strategy

� Information gathered during implementation and incorporated into new version of RIS3

� Peer reviews!
