Brief: |
Fostering regional innovation is crucial in supporting the long-term objective of making Europe the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world.
The Achieving Regional Innovation consortium workshop will highlight the methodologies used by the participating regions in implementing their regional innovation strategies and, in turn, driving up regional growth. The workshop will also address the challenges and opportunities faced by regions in delivering these strategies and will provide a comparative analysis of best practice tools used to enhance knowledge transfer.
The workshop will present a range of experiences and approaches to regional innovation, including successful collaborations between public authorities, research institutions and businesses through the ‘triple helix’ approach. The workshop aims to facilitate an interactive dialogue between all stakeholders in the field of innovation policy in order to share best practices and successful models for delivering innovation.
Participants will be encouraged to discuss factors which increase levels of innovation and explore synergies with the ERDF, FP7 and CIP funding programmes.
