BENCHMARKING AND SURVEYINGKey pillars of RIS governance in PACA
RIS COMPONENTS IN PACAAll ingredients present to reach systemic tipping point
BENCHMARKINGSeveral examples that help us on our way to a better RIS • International • European • 2006 European Regional Innovation Scoreboard • FP6 INNOV Projects • IRE working groups, IRC, … • National • Regional Innovation Agencies • Pôles and regional clusters • Other sources of benchmarking : research literature and history
NATIONAL BENCHMARKINGStrategy of RIA creation – Strategy of clusterization
2006 EU REGIONAL INNOVATION SCOREBOARDDoes innovation grow under the 45th parallel ?
3 REGIONS TO BENCHMARK US AGAINST …Comparable (according to GDP) and ahead of us (according to EIS ranking)
Stockholm (Sweden) Lithuania Lower Austria Kent (United Kingdom) Tuscany (Italy) PACA (France) 5 MORE REGIONS TO BENCHMARK US AGAINSTThe ARISE project (www.arise-project.com)
ARISEMethodologies and tools to evaluate impact of regional innovation policies • Common : vocabulary, strategies, indicators? • Beyond regional contexts : shared objectives? • Assessment : • ex ante/ex post • quantitative/qualitative • efficiency/effectiveness • SWOT/impact • content/context • Toolbox : 12 subsets of indicators (total nb = 300+) • Indicators criteria : • theoretical validity • availability • empirical reliability • comparability • relevance
ARISEOpen (and sometimes baffling) questions about RIS indicators • Collecting the data : the risk of « survey fatigue » • Validity : more funds for R&D? sleeping patents? desperate start-ups? • Commitment of regions over time : one-shot or regular basis? • Sector-based indicators : R&D in biotechs vs R&D in construction • Long time periods and fresh data are of the essence : slow innovations (laser) and innovation policies (clusters), rapid obsolescence of consumer products • Basket or agregate ? Boil down to a limited set of indicators for policy makers?
DO RIS MEASUREMENTS, INDICATORS, BENCHMARKING MEASURE UP? • Clusters as elusive collective objects :perimeter (fractal-like) and themes (transverse) • « Think collectively » dogma and one-size-fits-all approach: where do solo innovators, mavericks, niche markets fit in the RIS ? • Innovation as an emergent phenomenon • Innovative milieu : beyond content and context (confidence index, risk taking, cohesiveness and trust) • Systemic approach (feedback loops and relations)will not make up for mediocre research
