Innovate Across Borders
Smart specialisation strategies (S3) are considered a new and promising policy tool for building more knowledge-based and more competitive economies. There are some initial indications that elaborating and implementing these strategies can benefit regional (and national) economic structures by more business and research community interactions, increased investments, attracting talent to innovation centres, and more intensive collaboration among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), leading to stronger economic performance. Here is the Methodology for Transnational Smart Specialisation Strategy https://gosmartbsr.eu/publications/.
Project 'Strengthening smart specialisation by fostering transnational cooperation (GoSmart BSR)' is implemented with the support of the European Regional Development Fund Baltic Sea Region Programme 2014-2020. From October 2017 to September 2020 project unites 8 partners from 7 countries – Bialystok University of Technology (Lead Partner, Poland), Podlaska Regional Development Foundation (Poland), Vidzeme Planning Region (Latvia), Valga Town Government (Estonia), Public Institution Lithuanian Innovation Centre (Lithuania), Kouvola Innovation Ltd. (Finland), Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) (Germany), Business Aabenraa (Denmark). The main aim of GoSmart BSR is to increase capacity of innovation actors (innovation intermediaries, authorities, research institutions, enterprises) to apply smart  specialisation approach.
