  3. The VINNVÄXT ProgrammeThe policy framework • Regional Growth through Dynamic Innovation Systems • 10 years commitments • 65 MEuro from VINNOVA and 65 MEuro from regions • Competition in growth potential • The side effect: VINNVÄXT has influenced the regional agendas!

  4. Critical success factors • Regional leadership for renewal Triple Helix constellation • Shared vision/strategic concepts • Identification of growth areas • Regional focus/prioritization • Functional regions • Strong research and innovation enviroments • Strategies and resources for learning • Insight into the existing and future business logic • Strong commitment from the business community from the start

  14. FIRST 18 MONTHS 140 facilitators (average: 45 participants) 15 network meetings or conferences 8 different development projects

  15. The Agenda: Regional mobilising processes – HOW! Communication (for insight/awareness and long term change) Storytelling Process indicators – how to measure and evaluate Upgrading of clusters and innovation systems in ”old” industries. Cluster business development How to handle the second wave (the threshold logic, e.g ICT) Big city logic (Meta systems). Micro clusters and innovation systems (local development?) Organising for success (formation and facilitation of system-initiatives) Industry related issues (e.g ICT, bio-tech, automotive, paper & pulp) The social entrepreneur. Who is she? How does she work? Driving forces? Regional foresights and other methods to identify future opportunities PRIORITIZED ISSUES AND THEMES
