Getting Regional Smart Specialisation Strategies closer to business
Dear Reader,
European cities and regions work hard to promote innovation and growth within their innovation ecosystems. The Interreg Baltic Sea Region project “EmpInno” improves this work on a common basis by joining forces for a better implementation of regional smart specialisation strategies (RIS3) in twelve regions around the Baltic Sea.
We see that this joining of forces and the EmpInno activities bear fruits: Our partner organisations know better how to implement the regional smart specialisation strategies in their region, the dialogue between strategy owners and strategy implementers makes aligned implementation of strategies easier, many companies and innovation actors such as universities or R+D facilities have started networking and cooperation as a result of the project activities, and so on…
This inspires us to continue and even more put the emphasis on exchange and networking to make innovation happen. We want to share our past and current project activities with you and encourage you to approach the EmpInno project partner in your region and to engage in innovation activities. Enjoy reading our second newsletter!
