Regional branch observatories of intelligent markets in Central Europe monitoring technology trends and market developments in the area of smart specializations

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-11-15

Description

Description (EN):

Common challenge faced by all PPs is a missing link between the Regional Innovation Strategies(RIS) monitoring and real needs of smart specialisations(SmartS) of end users. There is no methodical support on national level and no tools for benchmarking. Each region gathers data but in different structure,sometimes not having any monitoring institution. Main objective of the projects is to fill in this gap and build a link between the RIS and end users. This can be done by elaborating model for Regional Branch Observatories(RO),equipped with a set of monitoring and benchmarking tools, available to all RIS stakeholders and intelligent markets’ actors. As the project will coincide with mid-term evaluation of RIS, PPs will elaborate policy recommendations for EU commission, based on international pilot projects and research results; a network of RO will enable national and EU authorities to monitor RIS implementation across EU. Based on SmartS in PPs regions specific technology areas were selected, for which tools and knowledge management services for RO will be elaborated -health, life science, ICT, future services, sustainable production technics and Industry 4.0. Project approach ensures defining needs of all RIS stakeholders, as representatives of target groups(TG) from each PP region will be involved in the process(participatory approach). Involvement of those TGs will ensure results elaborated cover all RIS markets in CE. The RIS and SmartS topics were already tackled by several projects within Interreg frames and outside, however none of them was concentrated and dealt with monitoring. This missing part becomes a significant problem concerning the mid-term evaluation of RIS and need for changes in direction EU policy is heading. This steps can be done only within the frames of international actions. CE regions involved in this project cover 32% of EU member states,which gives significant probe that can be used as a benchmark for the entire EU.

Achievements (EN):

SMART_watch was created as a cooperation platform between key participants of the innovation sectors in Central Europe. Within the SMART_watch, we wanted to develop and share good practices as well as learn from other regions that carry out similar activities in the area of Central Europe (CE). Business support organisations, R&D institutes and regional authorities are the pillars for the innovation systems. In particular, we believe that they serve as REGIONAL OBSERVATORIES of technology and market needs and trends, i.e. the institution that monitors technology trends and market developments in the area of smart specializations or regional authorities implementing the RIS, to scrutinise upon good practices, pitfalls and bottlenecks of their activity. Our goal was to develop a model of operation and create an international network of Regional Observatories of smart specializations in Central Europe, monitoring technology trends and market development in the areas of innovative technologies and smart sectors. Although we do not build new buildings, we do not provide infrastructure in the form of equipment, we bring something more valuable to our regions: knowledge, competences, contacts that enterprises can use to improve their competitiveness and implement innovations. Technology areas covered within the SMART_watch project are: health, life science, ICT, future services, sustainable production technics and Industry 4.0.

Expected Results (EN): R 1.1 Status of linkages among actors of the innovation systems achieved through transnational cooperation in central European regions.

Expected Outputs (EN):

Project main results are: 1. set of tools for RO (tailored online benchmarking ICT mechanism – RIS competences map, aggregating information on the SS markets). 2. ready to implement operational model for RO, enabling them to respond to end users’ needs and providing a real support to the decision makers at regional, national and EU level. 3. network of RO cooperating and enabling national and EU authorities to benchmark SS on an international level and monitor RIS implementation. 4. policy reccomendations -as the project will coincide with the mid-term evaluation of RIS, PPs will be able to elaborate policy recommendations for the EU commission, based on the international pilot projects and research results. Project outputs will provide solution to similar problems with the RIS monitoring, faced by all the CE regions. The solution will be available and possible to implement in each EU region providing a horizontal insight into the SS markets in EU. It will be possible to transfer the business model to other areas of technology and contribute to the inclusion of other actors (not directly involved in the project) of the innovation ecosystem in CE. Network, strategies and tools elaborated within the project will contribute to sustainable cooperation, linkages and mutual learning between partners and regions. Strengthening regional innovation systems, as well as facilitating the availability and flow of knowledge between actors involved in the innovations spreading in CE regions.
