The policy context

Monitoring of 2009 ICT R&D&I Communication: By 2020, "(…) Europe has nurtured an additional five ICT poles of world-class excellence (…)"

2010 Innovation Union, Commitment 24: The Commission stands ready to assist and will use its regional research and cluster initiatives to support this change and establish a "smart specialisation platform" (…) “including further support for the emergence of world class clusters.”

Objectives of the EIPE AA (2010-2013):- European ICT Poles of Excellence EIPE – 750K- Quantitative method for identifying “European ICT Poles of

World-Class Excellence”

European ICT Poles of ExcellenceDel 1

Del 1: Vast review of literature and of 22 empirical studiesResults: EIPE = ?

No such concept exists (unless in auto-labelling)No such measurement tool/Indicator exists (closest example “Strong clusters in Innovative regions” 1)No such data exists (EU-wide, sector-specific, <NUTS3)

A working definition: European ICT Poles of World-Class Excellence (EIPE) are geographical agglomerations of best performing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) production, R&D and innovation activities, located in the European Union, that exert a central role in global international networks

1: Stockholm School of Economics (2011). "This report presents the strongest cluster agglomerations in the most innovative regions in the European Union. Among 3- star clusters (see below), 100 were selected based on the regional innovativeness according to the Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS) 2006.”

Do not worry !We’ll be ready by June 2013 !

With: Database - EIPE indicators - Cartographic tool

The real question is…:

Is there Life after Death?

EIPE

European ICT Poles of ExcellenceAdapted to Smart Specialisation?

Life after death: a question for debate

The EIPE database and cartographic visualisation tool, if adapted, could become a very valuable tool for Smart Specialisation policies, within the implementation and monitoring of regional policies for ICT Innovation.

Being the already existing developments of the S3 platform at IPTS (KfG) for REGIO, this might be a useful coordination and economy of scale.

The adaptation of the purpose of EIPE could be envisaged in a new AA covering a multiannual period starting now or after mid 2013 (end date of EIPE AA).

Should we go for this?

Life after death ? EIPE
