Other qualifying aspects • Price paid is always lower than the market value of research and development • The Regional government shares IPR and exploitation interests with the proposers • Always 2+ awarded proposals at each stage of the process and for each thematic domain (Smart Energy, Intelligent Mobility) • It’s a public purchase, not a research grant less exchange of paper, more tangible results (local pilot installations) … Manchester, 28 August 2013
Main advantages of “working across the borders” • Realise or facilitate Regional Smart Specialisation • Obtain a critical mass of population and demand • Integrate the respective socio-economic systems • Exchange good practice of policies • Develop pan-European products and services Manchester, 28 August 2013
Implications Manchester, 28 August 2013
NeSTI • Adoption of the Living Lab citizen-centric approach to co-design policy solutions capturing the benefits of the Future Internet • Bottom-up Smart Specialisation strategies integrating local Territorial Agenda and Digital Agenda priorities with innovation profiles • Experimentation of multi-stakeholder co-production of public services and pre-commercial public procurement as a motor of innovation • 45+ signatures from 30+ Regions and 12 EU MS (+2 non-EU) http://www.centralivinglab.eu/NeSTI Manchester, 28 August 2013
Where to get the Handbook • A printed edition is currently in press. • Soon it will be downloadable from:http://www.alcotra-innovazione.eu/livingLabs/definizione.shtml • An excerpt of the Conclusions has been made available here:http://www.alcotra-innovazione.eu/livingLabs/dwd/Conclusions_EN.pdf • For updates on the project events (in France and Italy) stay tuned to:http://www.alcotra-innovation.eu/ Manchester, 28 August 2013
