  1. Towards an S3 strategy for West Region Romania Sevilla, 31 January 2012Raluca CIBU-BUZAC Adrian MARICIUC

  2. Introduction

  3. 4 counties 32.034 sqm 1.919.434 inhabitants Regional GDP 50,5% from EU average 50.048 SMEs

  4. Strategic economic sectors • IT&C • Automotive • Construction • Agro-food • Energy efficiency

  5. Supply • Universities: • 7 public • 7private • Human Resources: • 3.164 Teachers • Students in the region: 72.124 • 20.789 graduates /year

  6. Supply • Research • Institutions: machine • building, welding and • material testing, • Chemistry • - 4.055 employees • Timișoara – the major research centre of the region

  7. Demand

  8. Place based dimension of the RIS3

  9. WEST REGION – COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Regional Economy growing region; traditional industrial area; business locations; clustering Strategic location border area; TEN T Network; international airports High Quality of Human Resources young; good coverage of all qualification levels; diversity and multiculturality Quality of Life good cost of living; tourism; unique natural elements; rich natural resources Advanced Services Costumers services; Headquarter for multinational company

  10. Key challenges for West Region : to stay attractive strategic planning and programming offering professional servicesto investors putting into practice the cluster initiatives … West Region a smart specialization region

  11. Achieving critical mass

  12. West Region - first Romanian Region that developed RIS 2005 -2008 Priority set up after 2 years of consultation and debate: - 900questionaire to SMSs - 50interviews to research units - 25tehnologic audits International Partener: Tehnological Institute Aragon International Consultant: Infyde Basque Country Pillot projects from RIS 2005-2008: Tehimpuls, Automotivest, Regional Innovation Pole on ICT sector (including TA financed by EC)

  13. 2009 -2013 second RIS for West Region

  14. 2009 -2013 second RIS for West Region General Objective Speeding up the economic development of the West Region by integrating innovation and knowledge into the public policies and the current activity of the enterprises, in order to increase the competitiveness of innovative products and services on the global market.

  15. RIS 2009-2013 3 strategic axes: Supporting the innovation infrastructure, which generates added value in terms of RDI products/solutions/technologies Supporting innovation in enterprises, also relying on their internationalization Promoting the innovation culture at regional level

  16. RIS 2009-2013 3 horizontal theme: The use of instruments that are specific to the information society Human resources Eco-innovation

  17. Outward-oriented aspects of the RIS

  18. Regional authority is well connected to relevant institutions outside the region: member of Innovating Regions in Europe - IRE network, Europe Innova, Smart Specialization Platform RIS West Region 2005-2009 was made in the same time with the South East Region from Hungary RIS coach for Nord-West Region Romania International projects: WeSteer, Before Partnerships with regions and institutions from Spain, Irland, Germany, Italy, Greece

  19. Prospects for an“entrepreneurial process of discovery”

  20. 50 companies are partners in the clustering activity 300 of questionnaires was apply to the company during the 2 sectorial studies (automotive and ICT) 35 audit to companies 20 vouchers 244 companies get financed from EC (Phare) and 125 companies get financed from ERDF (ROP 2007-2013) Regional and Local public authority Business environment Research institute Capital, Financing oportunities Company Universities Research Intermediary Union

  21. Future orientation of the S3 process

  22. Every year we prepare a monitoring report

  23. RIS 2009 – 2013 have a monitoring and evaluation plan RIS up - date

  24. Summary and next steps

  25. West Region want to develop a new RIS for smart specialisation Needed to develop a regional innovation strategy for smart specialisation: Trainning Foresight exercise Experts Twinning International Projects

  26. Establish innovation as regional priority Funds for innovation in the next programming period Mechanism for monitoring and Correlation between planning and programming documents

FRESH & smart specialsiation Smartspecialisation • Selection • Relatedvariety & entrepreneurship • Thematic, permanent international networks FRESH, through the eco innovation component • Selection • Partially also related variety through entrepreneurship (prioritsed projects in the eco innovation component) The 10 Steps                                                 and any resonance with FRESH • STEP 6.Definition of coherent policy packages, pilot projects and measurable targets YES • STEP 7.Integration of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms into the strategy YES; just now we are making the Policy audit tools for exactly this purpose • STEP 8.Establishment of strategic policy intelligence resources and capacities NO, beyond FRESH • STEP 9.Communication of the RIS3 Yes, but not exhaustively • STEP 10.Review and update of the RIS3 Beyond FRESH

  33. FRESH project: • Contributes to smart specialisation strategies in the partner regions through the formulation of an eco innovation component, meant to reinforce the regional innovation startegies and addressing sustainable construction which, as a sector has been selected by all FRESH regions. • Regions contenxtualise the eco innovation component by selecting to build on specific aspects of sustainable construction that are relvant to the regional potential.

  34. SELECTION OF SUB SECTOR & RESULTS Sustainable construction (1) external environmental quality (site planning, landscaping of the construction waste when relevant);(2) resource consumption (energy, water, and other raw materials); 3) environmental weight (including CO2 emissions, waste management from the use phase of the construction, pollution during the construction and use phases, and ecology); (4) surface water run-off; 5) indoor environmental quality (including health and well being); 6) service quality; (7) management quality; 8) Urban and city planning; land use planning; 9) Transports Sector / subsector to focus; Types of measurements / targetesotinclude; types of developmentactions / projects to prioritise Partner on goinginnovationstrategypriorities Successes ’in the field’ in the region i.e. Products, services, and or R&D, and how they compare with the innovation strategy priorities Partnerregiondevelopmentinterests, new priorities

  35. Targets for West Region: Uptake of eco-innovation and sustainable construction into the RDP and RIS (Eurocodes, Breeam) Publish guidelines for sustainable construction Organize regional roadshow to promote sustainable construction solutions
