Ineffect,itactsasaguidelineforfuturedecisionsandpoliciesintheregion.Yet,avisionstatementshould not just be a bland statement that is light-mindedly and solely formed by the regionalauthorities and hidden somewhere in formal documents. Instead, the vision should be shared. Itshould be built by engaging regional stakeholders, such as companies, citizens, educationalinstitutions,NGOs,etc., intheentrepreneurialdiscoveryprocess,wheretheydiscoverandproduceinformation about potential new activities and identify opportunities that emerge from thisinteraction, while policymakers assess the outcomes and ways to facilitate the realisation of thispotential.Byallowingstakeholderstotakepartinformingthevision,theyfeelownershipforitandarelikeliertoacceptandfollowit.
In addition to the engagement, the formed vision should be communicated widely back to thestakeholderssothattheyareawareofitandgivefeedbackonit.Thevisionshouldnotbestaticbutratherbeadjustedovertimeasconditionsintheregionsandinitssurroundingschange.Therefore,itisimportanttokeepstakeholdersinformedonRIS3andthevisionandtokeepthemengagedintheprocess.Overall,theinteractionwithstakeholderscanbesummarisedasfollows:
