The role of RIS3 in Cohesion Policy
Luisa SanchesPolicy Analyst – Innovation
DG REGIOWarsaw, 27 June 2012
Cohesion Policy paradigm shift towards innovation
• Cohesion policy contributes to unlock the growth potential of the EU by promoting innovation in all regions.
• For 2007-2013, 86 billion to innovation, of which 65 billion come from the ERDF. That is 25% of its total budget. For the less developed regions the ERDF is the most important source and enabler to leveraging national and private funds.
• Our latest figures show that over 50 billion € have already been committed to operations in the R&I field.
Objectives of cohesion policy 2014-2020
• Deliver the Europe 2020 strategy objectives of
smart, sustainable and inclusive growth
• Focus on results
• Maximise the impact of EU funding through
concentration
• Conditionalities (smart specialisation)
Concentrating resources to maximise impact
Less developed regionsMore developed & transition regions
Concentration of ERDF investments on:• energy efficiency & renewable energy
• research & innovation• competitiveness of SMEs
• flexibility – different regions have different needs• special arrangements for ex-convergence regions

= place-based economic transformation agendas
1) Focus policy support and investments on key national/regional priorities, challenges and needs for knowledge-based development (= tough choices)
2) Build on each country's/region’s strengths, competitive advantages and potential for excellence (= critical mass, differentiation)
3) Support all forms of innovation
4) Get stakeholders fully involved and encourage experimentation and private sector investment
5) Evidence-based and include sound monitoring and evaluation systems

RIS3 is a process …and a journeyof «entrepreneurial discovery»
What do they need?
With whom to
cooperate?
Who are your customers /
competitors?
Is there critical mass / excelence?

Hypothetical
example:Fields of
"specialisation": new activities
that show potential and have critical mass… or
rather differentiation, diversification
… Not an whole
sector nor one single firm
What people ask us all the time ….
How many RIS3 do I need / allow for my country?
