CohesionPolicy paradigm shift towards innovation • Cohesion policy contributes to unlock the growth potential of the EU by promoting innovation in all regions. • For 2007-2013, 86 billion to innovation, of which 65 billion come from the ERDF. That is 25% of its total budget. For the less developed regions the ERDF is the most important source and enabler to leveraging national and private funds. • Our latest figures show that over 50 billion € have already been committed to operations in the R&I field.

  3. Objectives of cohesionpolicy 2014-2020 • Deliver the Europe 2020 strategy objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth • Focus on results • Maximise the impact of EU funding through concentration • Conditionalities (smart specialisation)

  4. Concentrating resources to maximise impact • Concentration of ERDF investments on: • energy efficiency & renewable energy • research & innovation • competitiveness of SMEs Digital Agenda 6% 60% 44% 20% More developed & transition regions Less developed regions • flexibility – different regions have different needs • special arrangements for ex-convergence regions

  5. Timing for RIS3 and Operational Programmes CSF & Legal frame adoption Country Specific Rec. COM position papers Discussion of COM position paper Negotiation Mandate Negotiations Draft Partnership Agreement Ex-ante cond. Draft OPs Development of RIS3 by MS and / or regions Monitoring & up-date of RIS3 Cohesion Policy

  6. R&I Strategies for Smart Specialisation(RIS3) = place-based economic transformation agendas 1) Focus policy support and investments on key national/regional priorities, challenges and needs for knowledge-based development (= tough choices) 2) Build on each country's/region’s strengths, competitive advantages and potential for excellence (= critical mass, differentiation) 3) Support all forms of innovation 4) Get stakeholders fully involved and encourage experimentation and private sector investment 5) Evidence-based and include sound monitoring and evaluation systems http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docgener/informat/2014/smart_specialisation_en.pdf Cohesion Policy

  8. RIS3 : As the backbone of the OPs Synergies with Which Funds? Other EU Funds, Ex: Horizon 2020 National Regional ERDF ESF Types of strategies Rural Development Fund Research Education National Competitiveness Programs Regional Programs Innovation business market

  9. RIS3: not about sectors but cross-cutting activities RIS3 Hypothetical example: KETs for SMEs : Tech.transfer & audits, demonstrators, pilots Fields of "specialisation": new activities that show potential and have critical mass… or rather differentiation, diversification … Not an whole sector nor one single firm Bio-Economy Forestry Technologies Renewable energy Tourism Skills: entrepreneurial, innovation management, creative … Cohesion Policy

  10. What people ask us all the time …. • How many RIS3 do I need / allow for my country?

  11. Relation regional – national RIS3 Hypothetical example MS without strong regional innovation competences: National level RIS3 Consolidation RIS3 Region A RIS3 Region B RIS3 Region C RIS3 Region D Cohesion Policy

  12. Regional RIS3 only National level RIS3 Hypothetical example MS with strong regional innovation competences Coordination/synergies RIS3 Region A RIS3 Region B RIS3 Region C RIS3 Region D Cohesion Policy

  13. Thematic guides • Incubators • Universities & regional development • Broadband • Soon available: • ► Clusters ► Social Innovation • ► Green growth ► Entrepreneurial spirit • ► Creativity ► Service innovation • ► …. • Inspiration for innovation support: • Oslo Manual (OECD) https://community.oecd.org/community/smartspecialisation • Community framework for State Aid to Research and Innovation • Analysis of regional innovation http://www.rim-europa.eu • EURADA • Directory of "No-Nonsense" Activities to Build S³-minded Regions; • All money is not the samehttp://www.insme.org/files/3019 Cohesion Policy
