INTERREGIONAL STRATEGIES TO HELP CHOOSE A WINNING FIELD OF COMPETENCE – DEVELOPING DIVISON OF WORK Oslo Teknopol iks Jan Erik Grindheim Brussels 9 October 2007 Foto: SEA
QUESTIONS BY BALTIC SEA REGION SECRETARIAT • What role can meta-clusters such as ScanBalt and MedCoast play in developing interregional strategies for research and innovation? • Can or should local or regional innovation/cluster strategies be coordinated between metropolitan areas in order to develop a rational division of work? • What is the role of national and regional development agencies such as Innovation Norway and Oslo Teknopol in this?

how to choose a winning field? • explore the critical changes taking place in today’s R&D structures and functions • track the key drivers behind the changes and look for their causes and effects • describe how companies and governments are adapting to the changes • forecast the future of a more international, global and interregional R&D pattern • analyse the implications of these forecasts
see the role of FDI … • industrial production and innovation change is driven by FDI investments in R&D • host country governments can maximise spillovers of such investments • global mergers and acquisitions influence R&D patterns and priorities • companies and countries adopt technological and organisational innovations • employment patterns will develop in R&D related industries and institutions
what’s the role of RDAs? • various meeting places for those who fund, carry out and utilise research • interregional/mega-cluster functional networks of innovation and entrepreneurship • divergent models and strategies for effective administration of such networks • useful interregional metrics to describe, analyse or evaluate their performances • flows of ideas, technology, people and capital within and across such regions
how to use the ERA? • use the CORDIS database and related R&D and innovation information sources • optimise and open European, national and interregional research programmes • coordinate programmes to address major challenges together with other actors • develop links with partners worldwide to benefit from their knowledge • take a leading role in international and global initiatives to solve global issues
plan, prepare & put together • the logic of cooperation, ideas, human resources and R&D infrastructures in FP7 • the call system, working programmes and guide for proposals in FP7 • administrative and contractual aspects of FP7 • R&D and innovation based programmes linked to FP7 • the possibilities of combining structural funds and FP7 programmes
developing division of work • globalisation lead to dispersed markets and demands • R&D actors respond to this with dispersed locations of core assets • competence clusters are created all over the world • the innovative company or institution will restructure each individual cell • how to redeploy and relocate such cells globally, where it is most advantageous
