TCI Global Conference 2016 - P 11 - Adapting Cluster Policy for S3 - 10 November 2016, Eindhoven
Thematic focus for the Interregional Workshops
Design and deployment of Clusters Policy
• How to Identify & prioritise clusters & sectors & involve SMEs, STI, administration and large companies.
•How to Coordinate w/ other Competitiveness Policies (Joined-Up Policies, Innovation, Internationalisation, FDI).
• How to evolve & deal with Emerging clusters, Expansion of clusters, spin-offs, restructuring & convergence, etc.)
Implement the Policy through specific support instruments
& programmes •How to adapt the typology & intensity of support (technical assistance, financial support, duration of the programmes, etc.) to the maturity & development stage of clusters.
•How to enhance Cross-Sector collaboration in order to foster technology hybridisation and specialised diversification within a cross-cluster approach

Development of Clusters Policy & Alignment with RIS3
•Adopting Cross-cutting KETs and cross-domain cooperation
•Exploring Cross-cluster synergies beyond the territory & domain boundaries of the cluster, in order to articulate and implement the RIS3.

Adpating cluster policy for S3Cluster contribution to RIS 3 challenges
RIS 3 Challenge Cluster contributionPrioritization Methods to identify these domains can benefit from quantitative and qulitative approached used
by cluster selection and roadmaps defined by clusters
Integrated policy mixes The diversity in cluster policies implies diversity in their potential contribution to RIS3 policy mixes.
Smart, evidence-based policy making
Lessons from cluster evaluation can be used to fine tunepolicy portfolios. Even if the availability of ribust and impact-oriented evaluations are still limited, the newer methods at play, focusing on cluster dynamics and trends, are potential inputsfor iterative RIS3, which need periodically to revise strategic choices and policy mixes to support domain selected
Multi-level governance Cluster policy instruments rely most often on sources of fundig from different origins. With respect to public funding it is crucial to achieve synergies, rather then duplications between these various sources, and to align goals pursued by various authorities. Some clusters have long term experience in achoeving a good articulation.
Cross-border dimention Reinforcing the international dimansion of the clusters and the domains of RIS3 is the most pressing challenge: Europe needs clusters of worldwide excellence rather tan sub-critical, inward-looking initiatives. RIS 3 also require trans-border strategies, building on complementarities.
Sustainable stakeholder engagement
RIS 3 can rely on existing platforms established in the context of clusters and cluster policies, and on regional champions associated to the clusters to stimulate bottom-up processes.

Adpating cluster policy for S3Lessons from cluster experience for the six steps to S3 design
Steps to RIS3 Contribution from clustering experience(1)Analysis of the regional context and potential for innovation
The existence of cluster policy and functioning cluster initiatives can provide a strong basis for analysis and knowledge about regional context, through for example existing diagnostic processes within clusters, cluster mapping exercises, and in-depth cluster analysis
(2)Governance: ensuring participation and ownership
Clusters themselves exhibit a long experience with ensuring participation and effective governance, and there is a significant potential to learn from and improve these governance structures and approaches in the development of RIS3
(3)Elaboration of an overall vision for the future of the region
The strategic reflection processes of existing clusters can provide lessons in constructing common vision, and the clusters themselves are important vehicles for construction and communication of a regional vision
(4)Identification of priorities Inter-cluster approaches and collaboration among and between KET actors and clusters can play an important role in facilitating the coordination of bottom-up and top-down input into prioritization processes
(5) Definition of coherent policy mix, roadmaps and action plans
Cluster policies have followed a similar path, and experience shows the importance of policy flexibility and mechanisms to ensure sophisticated policy intelligence.
(6)Integration of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms
Experience with cluster policy evaluation suggests the importance of mixed methodologies and policy learning focus
