The Baltic Sea Archipelago of Innovation
– a Metropolitan Partnership for Growth!
The WP 5 Proposal to a BaltMet Innovation & Entrepreneurship Policy
Summary
The Baltic Sea Region is not referring to a distinct regional identity, but is a strategic (functional) concept, used to explore the golden opportunity to craft a joint competitive platform for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Northern Dimension of Europe
The Baltic Sea Archipelago of Innovation is a proposed innovation and entrepreneurship brand for the BSR, highlighting the region as a number of connected, independent and distinctly unique islands of innovation in a Baltic Sea of entrepreneurial competence and capability.
The vision for the BaltMetNetwork is to serve as a strategic platform for developing the Baltic Sea Region into a leading science- and technology-based innovation and entrepreneurship region in Europe.
