1 Table G Regional Aspects of Knowledge Economy Seven habits of highly effective regions

2 The knowledge challenge 1. Crea'on of new knowledge Technology Service innova'on and/or non- technological innova'on 2. Commercialisa'on of new products/services based on new knowledge Knowledge- based region technology leaders start- ups gazelles licensing Others access to knowledge absorp:on of knowledge diffusion of knowledge

3 Four avenues of an entrepreneurial discovery process turning tradi'onal sectors into new compe''ve areas Nord- Pas- de- Calais(F) in rail transport or Baden- WürIemberg (D) from the automo've sector to mobility, or Friesland (NL): salt- resis'ng crops; modernising specialisa'on through new technology [Jyväskylä (FIN) in the paper industry with the integra'on of ICT, optoelectronics and nanotechnology]; diversifying, based on exis'ng specialisa'on [whale tourism in Husavik (IS) from fisheries experience; eco- building in Lower Austria (A)]; radical change [Leuven (B) in microelectronics; Cambridge (UK) in biotechnology or Cantrabria (E) in marine science].

4 Types of innova:on New knowledge, competences, technologies New products, technical solu'ons, produc'on processes New services New designs or brands New business opera'ng models New systems and networks New life style ways New working prac'ces, organisa'ons or management models Public service realised in a new way

5 Knowledge flows from Region A to Region B PEOPLE BASED ACTIVITIES Mobility Par'cipa'on in networks AIending conferences Coaching/mentoring/training Joint publica'ons COMMUNITY BASED ACTIVITIES Exhibi'ons/fairs Conferences/workshops Technology showcases Clusters interna'onalisa'on TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ACTIVITIES Purchase of patents Licensing Spin out airac'on ENTERPRISE BASED ACTIVITIES Joint research Joint ventures Co- development Prototyping and tes'ng Staff mobility Consultancy services So^ landing packages Feasability studies

6 Seven habits of highly effec:ve regions Critical Mass Communication Caoacity Effectiveness Concentration Connectivity Collaboration Cooperation

7 Cri'cal mass Regions good size to bring together cri'cal mass in triple/quadruple helix Regions/ci'es have democra'c legi'macy

8 Capacity Need to develop regional capaci'es to exploit EU funding opportuni'es Need to train boundary spanners who can link triple helix players Need to retain key staff - differing rewards in public sector Loss of staff = loss of knowledge and contacts

9 Connec'vity Internal Triple helix Entrepreneurship House in Zagreb Zero emission Design focus On campus Importance of interna'onal outlook Global ci'es Benchmarking Transport Clarity of who to connect to

10 Coopera'on Joint projects Shared research infrastructure Macro regions e.g. Danube Strategy

11 Concentra'on Aware of diversity Sejng priori'es Developing strategy and implementa'on Smart specialisa'on

12 Collabora'on = 3 University Business links Entrepreneurship House in Zagreb - SEECEL Zero emission Design focus On campus Transna'onal coopera'on Cross border Transna'onal Interregional

13 Clarity/communica'on Clear communica'on lines within region Strong representa'on towards outside regions Brussels Office etc. Clarity of strengths and collabora'on priori'es
