Smart specializations in the Italian Regions

Simona Cigliano – Invitalia

The analysis

� The scope: 4 Convergence Regions

� What: Call for tenders “Technology districts and Public-Private Laboratories (PPL) with 193 applications for new “districts” and PPL as well as 42 applications for Feasibility Studies approved

� In addition, were investigated the results of other calls and notifications managed by the Ministry of Education, were analyzed as funded primarily by the resources of NOP Research (worth about 3 billion €): industrial research, upgrading infrastructure, smart communities, national technology clusters as well as major announcements, alerts and tools managed and financed by regional administrations with the resources of the ROPs aimed at promoting and supporting research and innovation initiatives.

The mapping

Biotecnologie

� Analyzing the technology demand and the new paths of development in the regions

� Enhancing the potential complementary areas

� Reducing overlaps

� Identify areas of lesser significance

Goals

9 priority areas as set off in the notice National Technology Cluster

Who and How

Invitalia with the involvement of Regional Administrations and with the support of nine sector experts

Drivers

The mapping

Biotecnologie

� Few but important industrial and research excellences

� Some projects interesting from a scientific point of view with a fragile industrial fallout

� Initiatives with a poor level of technical, economic, commercial and industrial viability

Initial results (relating to Convergence Regions)
