General information
The creation of transnational clusters linked by the S3 (Smart Specialisation Strategy) will enable SMEs to reach a critical mass that will foster and increase opportunities for transnational collaboration, innovation in techniques and new products. Pilot cases of transnational clusters in subjects that are of primary importance for the Alpine Space are planned. The project outputs will benefit not only the clusters but also the quadruple helix (politics, research, business, end-user) of the regions that will create more prosperity in the region through innovation. Close relations with the related working groups of the Eusalp Alpine Macroregion will broaden the scope of the results.
Main actions are: cluster policy stress test and benchmarking of the Intelligent Specialisation Strategy, definition of the cluster innovation model, testing of the model on pilot cases of transnational clusters
Goals
The main objective of the "S3-4AlpClusters" project is to improve the capacity of Alpine regions to implement innovation policies in economic development by leveraging the aggregation of the regions' Smart Specialisation Strategies.
