Challenges and Opportunities: critical success factors MAIN CHANGES VALUE CHAINS VERSUS SECTORS (INTEGRATION, GLOBALIZATION) FROM RESEARCH TO ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT COMPLETE CONSORTIA / INTEGRATION OF FUNDING / FINANCING OPEN INNOVATION (KNOWLEDGE AND PEOPLE FLOWS) MULTILEVEL APPROACH (INTERNATIONAL/NATIONAL AND REGIONAL) THE RELEVANCE OF CLUSTERING 2
Challenges and Opportunities: critical success factors FUNDING AND FINANCING INCREASE OF TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT SPEED AND DIVERSIFICATION + PRODUCT AND SERVICE LIFECYCLE REDUCTION = HIGHER PRESSURE FOR R&D&I INVESTMENT (volume and ROI) Need to take advantage of all funding opportunities (international, national and regional) Need to combine and integrate complementary funding sources to cover the entire innovation cycle (different rules, time windows, etc.) One of the main challenges at European level 3
PT2020: Supporting and SME Priority to RDI in COMPETE 2020 (6.233M ) 34% Support to RDI, tecnological develpment and innovation Sofisticated offer Increasing interaction and TT between companies and science/technology network to increase the value chain Demonstration & PL PhD in companies International Programmes Complement results of European Projects Partnership between companies and Science / Technology 4

PT2020: Focus on cooperation instruments for R&D&I Mechanisms to foster valorization and internationalization: 1. Demonstration and pilot lines 2. Participation in European / International programs and European projects results valorization 3. Foster strategic partnerships between companies and RTO 4. Insertion of qualified Human Resources in companies (namely PhD) Individual, collaborative or mobilizing projects 6
EXAMPLE: Integrating funding sources and instruments to cover the Innovation Cycle 7
PT2020: ESFI RIS3 and regional strategies Nacional strategy in line with 7 Regional strategies Ex-ante contition for accessing ESFI R&D investment in competitive regional areas 5 thematic axes 15 priority areas Consolidated themes vs. Emerging Differentiated Priorities per region 8
PT2020: ESFI RIS3 and regional strategies 9
RIS3: Enterpreneurial Process of Discovery and Inter Regional Cooperation Value Chains and Synergies 1. Inter Themes (Sea with Agrifood; Sea with Energy, etc.) 2. Inter Regions Different / Complementary / Overlapping 3. Transnational Example: Galiza Norte 10

Letter of Engagement to President Van Rompuy Three Objectives Political engagement of regions for interregional cooperation in European strategic priority areas on the basis of smart specialisation : exchange of good practices and alignment of roadmaps to achieve complementarities. Focus on an investment boost in demonstrators and pilots for deploying European lead markets (such as KETs, bio based products, sustainable construction, clean vehicles, smart grids, ), supported by instruments at all policy levels Upgrading regional clusters into world class clusters through cross border cooperation and networking in international value chains.
Pilot Action Smart Specialisation Platform Advanced Manufacturing (SSP ADMA) Three industry led pilot initiatives for ADMA VI regions organising industry led events on 3 specific ADMA areas, to further explore opportunities to develop EU value chains by co investment Advanced manufacturing to meet the challenges for off shore oil/gas and renewable energy application (lead: Scotland) High performance production through 3D printing (lead: South Netherlands+Flanders+Norte) Efficient and sustainable manufacturing (lead: Catalonia+Lombardia) The focus will be on the joint development of networks of demonstrators and pilots to accelerate market development in Europe for existing and emerging industries with competitive and high value added products Two more initiatives launched: Nanotechnologies + Bioeconomy
How we work together Political level Operational level Leading by example Annual Meetings of political leaders (Milan 13 Nov) Thematic Meetings on initiative of individual regions (Skane 4 June) Reg. Representatives (25 regions) Coordination Group (5) Chair Secretariat Task Forces: SSP AM Funding synergies Regional Public Private Partnerships / Cluster platforms Companies and innovation actors in the regions Pilot SSP + Pilot networks Engaging: Policy Officers Experts Lead companies Cooperation with the EC
RIS3: Enterpreneurial Process of Discovery and Inter Regional Cooperation Value Chains and Synergies MAIN CONCLUSIONS THERE ARE ALREADY SEVERAL EXAMPLES THAT ILLUSTRATE INTERREGIONAL COOPERATION ADVANCED MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS IS A RELEVANT AREA FOR TRANSREGIONAL COOPERATION THE CONTEXT IS FAVOURABLE AND THE INSTRUMENTS ARE THERE 17
