Abstract

ABSTRACT The EU Commission launched an innovation strategy called Smart Specialization in 2012. Smart Specialization is a framework for developing policies unleashing place-based economic potential. Evaluations, however, have shown that appropriate innovation policy decisions are difficult. There is an innovation policy potential that must first be unleashed. This article shows how the application of a method – connectivity analysis – developed through a Baltic Sea Region project ‘LARS – Learning Among Regions on Smart Specialization,’ can be used to support Smart Specialization. The method includes transnational comparisons and targeted policy recommendations for public sector institutions operating within various institutional frameworks and different clusters. It consists of instruments (gaps and factors) measuring collaboration through interviews of 141 quadruple-helix stakeholders across eight Baltic Sea regions.

发现智能专业化的区域创新潜力——以波罗的海两个地区为例

摘要欧盟委员会于2012年启动了一项名为“智能专业化”的创新战略。智能专业化是一个开发政策的框架，释放基于地方的经济潜力。然而，评估表明，很难做出适当的创新政策决定。必须首先释放创新政策的潜力。本文展示了通过波罗的海地区项目“LARS——智能专业化区域间学习”开发的方法——连通性分析——的应用如何用于支持智能专业化。该方法包括跨国比较和针对在各种体制框架和不同集群内运作的公共部门机构的有针对性的政策建议。它由衡量合作的工具（差距和因素）组成，通过采访波罗的海八个地区的141个四螺旋利益相关者。
