European Commission Expectations
•Updating of the Regional Innovation Strategy integrating the
smart specialisation dimension
• Consistency with the UE 2020 strategy for a « smart,
sustainable and inclusive » economy
• Articulation with Horizon 2020: promotion of innovation and
knowledge economy (70 billions€) & big societal challenges
• RIS-3 definition as an ex-ante condition to receive structural
funds

What is Smart Specialization ?
• Based on factual & convincing
data
(analysis
of
strenghts & threats)
regional
• Based on an entrepreneurial
discovery process
• Strategy shared among regional
innovation partners
• Broad definition of innovation :
not only technological, but also
market-pull,
user-driven
and
social innovation
• Concentration of ressources on a
limited number of priorities to avoid
« coffee for all » & to strenghten the
leverage effect
• Differenciation based on a regional
SWOT analysis, its potential of
excellence & opportunities
• Strategy based on each regional
economic and social context
• Thematics of specialisation based
on the « 4 C » approach: Critical
mass,
Competitive
advantage,
Choices, Collaborative Leadership

RI3S process in Rhône-Alpes
•
Step 1:
Updating of the regional strategy on innovation
January to June 2013
– Diagnosis: SWOT analysis, benchmarking…
– Frame for “horizontal measures” = “toolbox” to
competitiveness – new types of innovation supported !
•
Step 2:
Choice of « smart specialisation » areas
improve
companies’
May to July 2013
– Based on combined analysis of Societal challenges / KETs (Key Enable
Technologies) / Markets
– Entrepreneurial discovery process = Broad collaborative process
•
•
•
•
12 +1 regional workshops to identify specialization areas
+ 30 political and technical meetings with local governments, universities…
+ 70 contributions on early version of the strategy
Step 3:
RIS3 implementation and monitoring
From October 2013 on
– One steering committee for each SSA and Horizontal measure
– One technical committee to monitor and coordinate
