Commission support?

Regional Policy

Value Chain approach: policy framework for integration

Facilitating Connections

Integration of technology development (supply conditions) with societal challenges (demand pull)

Business perspective!

Connecting complementary actors (co-specialisations)

Vertical policies give direction (open innovation)

Co-creation of success-conditions

Role of regional eco-system/clusters as 'anchors' of local value-added

Mending Fragmentation

8

Technology push has limited impact; demand articulation through societal challenges is too broad

Actors are disconnected in efforts to build new solutions

Horizontal policies address mainly similar actors (competitors); policy learning insufficient for co-investment

Orchestration VCs mainly through (foreign) multinationals

= facilitate (pro-active) combination of intermediary inputs to co-produce solutions (value propositions) / co-investment

Regional Policy

VI focus is on catalysing joint investments in product-driven demonstration pilots (specific applications,

products or processes) with 5 pilot-cases

Our Objectives

• Support the development and enhancement of European eco-systems for

interregional collaboration based on areas of smart specialisation.

• Facilitate the exchange of experience, mutual learning and cooperation to

achieve better matching of business entities with research, as well as innovation

actors with their business counterparts.

• Prepare guidance material on the role of regional authorities in co-creating and

developing European value chains in key smart specialisation niches.
