RIS3 is an Economic Transformation Agenda

• RIS3 "Research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation"

• is a dynamic and evolutionary process – "not a structure"- deeply grounded in an entrepreneurial discovery process (not a one-off action) where Governments are rather facilitators…than in a position of command and control.

• RIS3 is for…

• innovation leaders and for those lagging behind !

= fact-based: all assets + capabilities + bottlenecks in a region, incl. external perspective, cooperation potential, global value chains

= no top-down decision but dynamic entrepreneurial discovery process uniting key stakeholders around shared vision

= all forms of innovation, not only technology-driven, existing / new knowledge

= ecosystem approach: creating environment for change, efficiency of institutions

= differentiation: focus on competitive advantages, potential for excellence, emerging opportunities, market niches

= concentration of resources on priorities, problems and core needs, for critical mass/critical potential

= synergies across different departments and governance levels (EU-national-regional); cross-sector/technology links

= place-based economic transformation: rejuvenate traditional sectors through higher-value activities

What is Smart Specialisation?

RIS3 strategy as a base for OPs

A national or regional smart specialisation strategy is in place when:

• is based on a SWOT or similar analysis to concentrate resources on a limited set of research and innovation priorities;

• outlines measures to stimulate private RTD investment;

• contains a monitoring mechanism.

A framework outlining available budgetary resources for research and innovation has been adopted.

RIS3 is a process … of «entrepreneurial discovery»

What do enterprises need?

With whom to cooperate?

Who are your customers / competitors?

Is there critical mass/ excelence?

for smart

specialisation

selection &

verification?

1. Proximity to market: the centre of gravity of S3 is business and the development of commercial applications; so this first criterion is proposed to avoid projects that would only emphasize fundamental research and/or research infrastructure.

2.Does the activity open a new domain potentially rich in innovation and spillovers? This is the essence of discoveries (versus innovation): opening a new domain in which several innovations will occur.

3.What is the degree of collaboration, the number of partners involved? The project needs to involve a sufficiently large number of actors. Each new activity set as a priority is a collective experiment.

4. Is public funding needed? Projects that are so promising (in terms of expected private profitability) that they will be undertaken in any case should be rejected.

Selection criteria for projects

5.What is the significance of the activity for the regional economy? Some excellent projects might be too narrow in terms of their significance for the regional economy (in terms of job, number of firms, etc.). To misquote Nobel Prize winner Robert Solow: we want to see the effect of S3 in the statistics!

6.What is the capacity of the region to keep the successful activity on its space, so as to avoid the innovation here benefits elsewhere syndrome? In general new successful activities which are related to (and built on) the local innovation ecosystem are easier to keep in the region.

7.Can this activity realistically drive the region towards a leadership position in the selected niche?

8.What is the degree of connectedness of the activity vis-à-vis the rest of the regional economy? R&D domains with a greater degree of connectedness create more opportunities for structural transformations and evolution than a more isolated domain.

Selection criteria for projects

OPs should: 1.Fully support RIS3 implementation by funding

matching research and innovation with business needs within S3 priorities

2.Make an impact on an increase of the private R&D investment

3.Be close to entrepreneurial discovery process by taking inspiration for implementation instruments

4.Take into account the synergies (Horizon2020, COSME, Erasmus+, Creative Europe, CEF)

5.Take into account Macro-level strategies (Danube or Baltic)
