1. WP 5 State of the art - VEGA November, 30th 2011 Budapest

2. Main tasks Pre-feasibility and feasibility study SMEs Database and interviews What is WP 5?

3. How did we organize our work? Common template for: Pre-feasibility study (do decide wich idea is the most suitable) Feasibilty study (to analize deeply this idea in all its aspects) SMEs Database and Interview Template proposed by the WP leader, discussed and approved by the partnership)

4. Lead PartnerMid Pannon Regional Development company From three possible parks, one idea was selected, Alba Innovation Zone The method used for developing the feasibility study was the following: Re-analysis of former results (WP3.1. and 3.2.) Document analysis Field survey Face-to-face consultations

5. Lead PartnerMid Pannon Regional Development company • No production activities planned in the park but R&D, services and education • There were two concepts for utilization: • A ‘campus’ nature, which leaves the total area of land undivided and • the new organisation move in share property rights on the basis of gross floor area (this is the preferred solution)

6. Lead PartnerMid Pannon Regional Development company • Number and type of possible tenants/utilization: • - 30 small and medium sized companies (mostly in technology incubator and R&D centre) • - 3 higher education institutes • - 5 R&D organizations (with approx. 10 labs) • - 1 technology incubator • - 1 innovation service centre • - Other service facilities

7. CERTHCenter for Research and Technology Hellas Scale of Intervention Regional innovation stakeholders point out the need for advanced liaison services to bridge the gap between Greek industry and research community through extroversion activities

8. CERTHCenter for Research and Technology Hellas • General characteristics of Liaison Office • CERTH is located in the eastern part of Thessaloniki, characterised by an intense rate of development on research as well as entrepreneurial – commercial level. • CERTH is located near all main transportation nodes and very close to the MAKEDONIA airport. • CERTH’s buildings occupy a total area of 20.000 square meters scattered over 45 hectares of land • Business Incubator that occupies 1.200 s.m. providing office space for spin-off companies of CERTH

9. CERTHCenter for Research and Technology Hellas Staffing The Liaison Office will be staffed for the first three years with 4 employees of CERTH who should have substantial knowledge of CERTH as a whole and should be experienced and have expertise in communication and liaison processes. The permanent staff of the Liaison Office will be assisted by external experts who will perform specific tasks for specific durations, such as graphic designs, events catering, etc. At least 2 members of the Office should be experienced researchers and one member should be experienced in issues of innovation and diffusion of innovation on local and regional level.

10. CERTHCenter for Research and Technology Hellas Sustainability Analysis The funding of the Liaison Office will come for the first three years of its operation directly and solely from CERTH’s internal budget. During those first three years the Office will bid for European, National, Regional projects that will reinforce its viability and sustainability. It is anticipated that after the 3 first years, the Office will be viable through private and/or public contracts. Furthermore, the Liaison Office will establish collaborations with external teams and organisations for the promotion of its effectiveness, efficiency and efficacy.

12. SB Sviluppo Basilicata Have realised the feasibilty study with the following structure: • BENCHMARKING • ANALYSIS OF “LOCATION ADVANTAGES” • SURVEY ON INNOVATIVE COMPANIES • STRATEGIC GUIDELINES

13. The benchmarking activity has clearly revealed that, following the gradual transition from old to new economy, incubators have become “virtual conglomerates” and cognitive interfaces. We are witnessing a sort of smart (r)evolution. To sum up, last generation incubators have proven to be able to give a comprehensive support to companies in the new processes and challenges required by the “smart economy“ (globalization, dematerialization, ICT development, etc.).

15. The information provided by the analysis of location advantages represent a further confirmation of what has already emerged from the benchmarking activity. There is a lack of an open and creative Integrated System, able to crossbreed and multiply knowledge, to interconnect Institutions-Enterprises-Research, to generate a virtuous liaison among enterprises, to reduce conflicts and generate new location conveniences.

16. Harghita County Council Harghita County Council has launched and finalized the public procurement procedure regarding the outputs of WP5 (database and FS) on the summer of 2011.

The database will contain relevant data (based on the pre-agreed methodology and excel file sent) on not less than 400 local enterprises. There were carried out deep interviews with 6 enterprises, potential tenants. The main aspects in selecting the 6 enterprises were: innovative potential, economic performance and the profile of the future park.

Harghita County Council The industrial park should be designed in such a way that: -The dominant approach is the processing industry of agricultural and sylvicultural activities with high added value and nature friendliness (organic). - The synergic effects of the park, will makes possible the break out of the current limited market possibilities. - The barrier of the lack of capital, necessary to carry out investments for satisfying the bigger markets, will be overcome - It will offer support in marketing activities, basic infrastructure and an easy accessibility.

18. Harghita County Council The feasibility study is not ready yet; it will contain surveys and interviews with different stakeholders (local and foreign enterprises, public administrations sphere, administrators of operating industrial and business parks from Romania, etc.) The main findings of the study so far may be resumed as: - The profile of the park will be designed on the ground of using local resources (agriculture, forestry) and taking into consideration the main local economic activities. - The park should promote local enterprises in the first place but it is open to host foreign companies also - The viability of a new network based mini park model will be tested: 6 sites with 1 ha of area each, operated by local economic agents
