Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Cluster and Industrial Transformation Trends Report (the Trends Report, in brief) identifies and analyses where and how clusters of related industries are transforming themselves and where new specialisation patterns give rise to the emergence or renewal of industries. The report aims to support policy-makers, cluster practitioners and companies to spot transformation trends at an early stage by examining, in particular, the ten emerging industries previously identified by the European Cluster Observatory (2012), namely: Advanced Packaging, Environmental industries, Biopharmaceuticals, Experience industries, Blue growth industries, Logistical Services, Creative industries, Medical Devices, Digital industries and Mobility Technologies. The analysis contributes to facilitating the policy efforts towards establishing favourable framework conditions for the development of emerging industries, which evolve at the borderlines of different competences and hence cut across and reshape traditionally defined sectors. It also helps European regions identify potential collaboration areas where emerging industries cut not only across sectors, but also across borders. The methodology is a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods, including statistical analysis and social network analysis of patenting and co-patenting, Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) transactions, Joint Ventures, strategic alliances and innovation networks (JV&A) data; extensive literature and documentary review; foresight analysis; Delphi surveys involving international experts on different topics; consultation with regional stakeholders in a sample of European regions in industrial transition; survey of international, national and regional cluster programmes; and data of the European Secretariat of Cluster Analysis (ESCA) on cluster organisations. The methodology follows the approach adopted in the previous European Cluster Trends Report (European Cluster Observatory, 2015) to ensure consistency of data and comparability of findings over a long time period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents the experience in the implementation of smart specialization strategies (S3) from multilevel policy governance, as well as from the bottom-up perspectives of firms, clusters, and networks in selected European countries. The presented research focuses on relevance and feasibility of the S3 adoption, emphasizing the importance of linking policy considerations with partnerships at lower governance levels. The major contribution of the presented research rests in theoretical implications and practical recommendations relevant for the implementation of regional S3 in the European context, with the possibility of place-based adoption in other environments. The book is also valuable for synthesizing the most recent advancements in smart specialization as a policy concept and the concept of transformation and growth for territorial units and economic entities. This book aims to further diffuse and expand the academic community’s learning of the new S3 approach in Europe and beyond. The book will be of interest and useful to the academic community of researchers and doctoral students focused on regional innovation development and related policy, as well as on entrepreneurship, networks, and clusters. Public sector professionals dealing with regional development, regional innovation policies, and industrial transformation will also benefit from its content.

Book excerpt: The aim of this policy briefing is to present a strategy and a set of recommendations to support the authorities and stakeholders in Piemonte in the regional industrial transition process. This document includes the main challenges for the region through a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and a PEST (Political, Economic, Socio-cultural and Technological) analysis. Both are described in Chapter 2. Based on these challenges, Chapter 3 provides a customised strategy designed to address the needs and challenges identified. Chapter 4 two specific recommendations for policy intervention. Their respective action plans are in Chapter 5. The aim of the work in Piemonte is to support the regional authorities and stakeholders in defining actions that facilitate the industrial transformation of the region through a cluster approach. This document builds on the assessment report prepared by the EOCIC team that summarises the challenges and barriers to, and drivers of industrial modernisation through clusters in Piemonte, before outlining a number of actions to increase the impact of the regional cluster policy. This work was carried out in close cooperation with the AMI experts - also funded by the European Commission - and the work of the OECD on Regions in Industrial Transition. This work provides inputs into a regional cluster strategy focused on strengthening the role, outreach and impact of the regional innovation hubs to support the implementation of the region's smart specialisation strategy. Regional clusters have reached maturity; the number of participating firms has stabilised without further increase in spite of the existing potential. In the last 10 years, the regional cluster policy has focused on establishing and supporting a cluster governance system based on the work of innovation hubs that has facilitated firms' access to public funding (mostly the ERDF) for collaborative R&I projects. The innovation hubs carried out this mission successfully. However, they have not yet been able yet to transform themselves into more proactive suppliers of knowledge-intensive business services. Nor have they been able become more active in fostering industrial transition by supporting the implementation of programmes in other policy areas, such as entrepreneurship, internationalisation or digitalisation. The proposed actions build on ongoing processes and complement the action proposed by the AMI expert (mostly in relation to the Policy Action "Experimental Call for Clusters"). They have been developed by looking at good practices of cluster programmes implemented in other European regions. To facilitate transferability in the regional context, this document outlines different possible delivery mechanisms to let the region decide, in consultation with the regional stakeholders, on the most feasible and acceptable options.

Book excerpt: Industrial clusters are responsible for a significant share of European jobs, SME growth and specialisation within regions. Cluster strength for Europe’s regions has, for many years, been measured using the cluster star methodology introduced by the European Cluster Observatory measuring strengths in size, specialisation and productivity. The European Observatory for Clusters and Industrial Change has added two new dimensions measuring the presence of high-growth SMEs and the presence of innovation leaders. This report analyses cluster strength across 51 exporting industry sectors in Europe and identifies 2,950 regional industrial clusters, which account for almost every fourth job in Europe (61.8 million jobs or 23.4% of total employment) and about half of employment in exporting industries (50.3%). The report also introduces a new, further refined distinction for strong clusters according to performance levels.

Book excerpt: In 2008, the European Commission published the communication: "Towards world-class clusters in the European Union: Implementing the broad-based innovation strategy". This document is a commonly accepted vision towards developing and promoting clusters in Europe. The document defines clusters as "a group of firms, related economic actors, and institutions that are located near each other and have reached a sufficient scale to develop specialised expertise, services, resources, suppliers and skills". In Europe, clusters are commonly represented by cluster organisations that are "legal entities that support the strengthening of collaboration, networking and learning in innovation clusters and act as innovation support providers by providing or channelling specialised and customised business support services to stimulate innovation activities, especially in SMEs". Therefore, cluster organisations have a key role in promoting cooperation and facilitating interactions between their members, as well as with organisations outside their memberships. The purpose of this report is to explore the role of cluster organisations and other SME intermediaries (business networks, technology centres, science parks) as facilitators of cooperation between firms active in the manufacturing sector. It aims to showcase selected examples of such cooperation and extract lessons learnt and conclusions from them that can be relevant for policy-making, as well as for the European cluster community.

Book excerpt: The aim of the work in Hauts-de-France is to support the regional authorities and stakeholders in defining a strategy that facilitates the industrial transformation of the region. The current report was conceived in close cooperation with the AMI expert assigned to the region. This document builds on the assessment report to summarise the regional challenges and barriers to, and drivers of industrial modernisation faced by Hauts-de-France. In a second step, the report displays an outline of a regional strategy supporting industrial transformation. In line with this strategy a set of specific policy actions are proposed leading to a roadmap. To that end, this document includes the main challenges for the region through a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and a PEST (Political, Economic, Socio-cultural and Technological) analysis. Both are described in Chapter 2. Based on these challenges, Chapter 3 provides a customised strategy designed to address the needs and challenges identified. Chapter 4 presents two specific recommendations for policy intervention. Their respective action plans are in Chapter 5The report is based on: i) desk research, ii) interviews, iii) a study visit in Lille (26 & 27 March 2018), iv) a policy review meeting (5 December 2018); and v) interactions with the AMI expert. The regional strategy was developed in interaction with the main regional stockholders, i.e. the Région Hauts-de-France and the regional innovation agency (HDFID).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professionals with high-tech skills have a strong potential to serve the growing needs created by smart industrial specialisation and digital transformation. They offer a solid foundation for the work of the future. The competitiveness of the European industry is highly dependent on the knowledge, competencies and creativity of its workforce. Skills shortages and gaps combined with mismatches between labour supply and demand, harm investment. They are already quite significant and are likely to widen due to the major disruption the Fourth Industrial Revolution brings to the scale at which training efforts currently take place. The skills for industry initiative aims at developing a common vision and actions on skills for smart industrial specialisation and digital transformation with a view to increase the capacity of industry, trade unions, education and training organisations, and policymakers to shape the workforce transformation in Europe. It aims to help cities, regions and Member States in designing and implementing ambitious upskilling and reskilling policies. Smart industrial specialisation refers to the coordination within specific regions between industrial, governmental and academic players to develop a collective strategy for regional economic development by prioritising industrial sectors where the region has key competitive advantages. The concept emerged in conjunction with the smart specialisation strategy. In this process, the European cluster observatory has provided strong evidence by defining newly emerging industries and relevant sector-specific framework conditions needed for boosting their development. Thus, industry clusters have become one of the key catalysts in support of industrial specialisation. Given the need for critical mass in R&D and innovation, the industrial modernisation platform has been launched to allow for cross-border and cross-sector partnerships all across the European Union (EU) and to establish a stronger industrial capability and specialisation for smart industrial specialisation. To this end, the European Commission launched the Vanguard initiative in 2015 and the European observatory for clusters and industrial change in 2018.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic, comprehensive, and independent comparative study of cluster policies in Europe. It focuses upon one very important relationship that has so far been neglected in the literature, namely, the extent to which the complex dynamics of multi-level governance (MLG) are responding to the problems and challenges faced by clusters, in particular the extent to which MLG learns and supports cluster learning.

Book excerpt: The aim of the work in Saxony is to support the regional authorities and stakeholders in defining a strategy that facilitates the industrial transformation of the region. In the case of Saxony, the EOCIC work was carried out in co-operation with the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport (SMWA), the AMI expert - also funded by the European Commission - and the work of the OECD on Regions in Industrial Transition. This document builds on the assessment report to summarise the challenges, barriers to and drivers for industrial modernisation in Saxony, before outlining a regional strategy for industrial transformation and a specific policy action together with a roadmap and an action plan. The report is based on extensive desk research, a large number of interviews, a study visit in Dresden and Leipzig (18 and 19 June 2018) and a policy review meeting in Leipzig (6 February 2019). Throughout the process, there has been close co-ordination of regional meetings, research and outputs between the EOCIC team and the SMWA. It is estimated that more than 50 regional stakeholders were reached directly via the study visit, policy review meeting and interviews. The briefing provides input for a regional strategy focused on a "managed industrial transition"4, based on the insight that different regions across Europe are characterised by different assets, strengths and weaknesses, and that they face different obstacles and threats that need to be overcome. A tailored approach is adopted that builds on existing resources. It places considerable emphasis on generating and maintaining political commitment for the proposed activities.

Book excerpt: The objective of deliverable D5.5 Progress Report on the European Strategic Cluster Partnerships is to provide an overview of the second periodic assessment, good practices and lessons learnt achieved by the European Strategic Cluster Partnerships for Going International (ESCP-4i) funded under the call COS-CLUSINT-2016-03-01 and the first assessment for the European Strategic Cluster Partnerships for Smart Specialisation Investments (ESCP-S3) funded under the call COS-CLUSTPARTNS-2017-3-02. Both ESCP-4i and ESCP-S3 are part of the European Union's (EU) Programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) (COSME Programme). For the development of this deliverable, the EOCIC conducted two online surveys: one dedicated to the ESCP-4i and the other to the ESCP-S3. The survey aimed to involve the 23 ESCP-4i and the nine ESCP-S3. Both surveys were developed and implemented in collaboration with the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) to benefit from the synergies between both initiatives. The present Progress report represent the second monitoring exercise implemented for the ESCP-4i and the first monitoring exercise implemented for the ESCP-S3. The survey included quantitative and qualitative questions to allow for sufficient contextualisation of the analysis. It was structured into sections that explored the activities, barriers, difficulties and first achievements of the ESCP-4i and ESCP-S3, as well as the benefits obtained by the participating cluster organisations and their SME members for the ESCP-4i. As for the ESCP-S3, it is considered too early to analyse the benefits. The majority of questions combined a quantitative indicator with a text box where the respondents were invited to provide additional information. The structure of the survey for the ESCP-4i and ESCP-S3 is presented in Annex A and Annex B, respectively.An online platform called Limesurvey was used to conduct the survey and to provide a more user-friendly interface. The survey was designed to take around 50 minutes to complete, considering the time to provide qualitative information. A first invitation to fill out the survey was sent by email on the 13th May 2019 to all 23 ESCP-4i partnerships. The responses were then closely monitored and follow-up emails were sent in the following weeks to those who did not answer. The survey was closed on the 5th June 2019. In total, 19 ESCP-4i partnerships provided complete surveys (over 80% of the total partnerships). Of these, 12 were ESCP-4i strand-1 (first generation) and seven were ESCP-4i strand-2 (second generation). As for the ESCP-S3, a first invitation to fill the survey was sent by email on the 13th May 2019. The responses were then closely monitored and follow-up emails were sent in the following weeks to those who did not answer. The survey was closed on the 28th May 2019. In total, eight out of nine ESCP-S3 submitted their survey. Overall, the number of respondents is regarded as sufficient to conduct a critical analysis of the data. As previously mentioned, this is the second monitoring exercise for the ESCP-4i and the first for ESCP-S3 conducted by the Observatory. The trends currently observed are likely to change over time. It is important to note that ESCP-S3, ESCP-4i strand-1, and ESCP-4i strand-2 have different objectives, as reflected in the assessment made for the questions included in the survey. This variation in their objectives means that the comparison between strands can be misleading. It is necessary to take into consideration this difference when reading the report.
