Smart Specialisation Strategy

3

• The competitiveness of regions lays on gathering critical mass of resources and

assets and determine how to integrate them to innovate, finding a distinctive

global market positioning;

• We must identify the possible domains where the region can have a competitive

stance, being aware not to scatter resources since “it is not possible to excel in

everything”.

This is a paradigm that highlights the importance of place-based

strategies and policies, designing a tailor-made strategy and policy

to lever the competitive positioning in global markets.

Conceptual approach to Smart Specialisation


4


• Choices and critical mass: identify a limited set of priorities to which allocate financial resources;

• Related variety: exploiting inter-sectorial synergies, combining knowledge and productive bases, as well as horizontal and vertical perspectives;

• Constructed Competitive Advantages: taking advantage of the R&DT capabilities and the export-led industrial DNA, to promote interlinkages and develop a technology market that can boost innovation;

• Connectivity and clusters: stimulate a higher density of connections both internally and internationally;

• Quadruple Helix: adopting a collaborative understanding of innovation, involving firms, universities, institutions and users.

1. Quantitative analysis of resources and assets and of the economic structure: (knowledge bases proxied by human capital and research output indicators) and of the economic structure, identifying nodal points in the most relevant matches.

2. Identification of non-technological endogenous assets: (symbolic capital): characterizing endogenous resources and pinpoint market opportunities (ex: sea, climate, Douro Valley, Cultural Assets…).


9


3. Evaluation of “technology relatedness” and “market relatedness”: the analysis of horizontal and vertical innovation opportunities, based on the nodal points, internal studies, in-depth knowledge of the territory and a close and permanent interaction with regional actors, led to the identification of 8 possible smart specialisation domains (first and second tier and also “wild cards”).

4. In-depth characterization of each domain: for each possible domain, an in depth analysis followed in order to precise the specialisation of human capital, the scientific competences and the focus of economic activities, proposing a rational for specialisation.

5. Prospective analysis: evaluation of how the resources and assets of the region could be integrated into products in services by the related variety of economic activities and respond, from a distinctive competitive stance, to demand and market trends.

Smart Cooperation

22

Evaluation of “technology relatedness” and “market relatedness”: the innovation policy, we need to focus on improving its efficiency and efficacy. This depends on the ability to improve knowledge flows and diffusion, to support the variable geometry pooling of resources and the capacity to deliver results through technology transfer and innovation.

Smart cooperation is an important element to achieve this goal, being fundamental to pinpoint the best combinations of each region’s knowledge and productive bases in order to integrate value chains and build, together, new competitive advantages founded on collaborative innovation.

In Norte we strongly believe in smart cooperation as an opportunity also to create a variable geometry system of competencies’ agglomeration. We recently joined the Vanguard Initiative for reindustrialization, focusing on advanced manufacturing.

Smart Cooperation

23

KTForce is a good example of EU regions sharing knowledge and experiences in technology transfer projects, providing the opportunity to exchange best practices and to learn from each other thus reducing the uncertainty and the mistakes and allowing to improve policy instruments design.

This is also an important opportunity to network and establish the links for future cooperation in order to work together in constructing new competitive advantages for EU and together initiating a new growth path.
