Europe needs pioneering regions focusing on bench-learning & European partnerships &

regional innovation ecosystems & open innovation & integrating real and virtual realities.

WIRE2012 Concluding Statements

4-‐5.06.2012 WIRE 2012 4

Some WIRE2012 Highlights 1.  Encourage change à Focus on concentra;on & coopera;on & connec;on; 2.  Innova;on will be at the hearth of European policy à Innova;on needs to be at the

centre of regional policy making and in public investments (especially public procurement);

3.  Horizon 2020 means more innova;ons out of research à Horizon 2020 needs to include a strong regional dimension and this needs to be integrated to cohesion policy instruments in developing a stairway to excellence through capacity building and crea;ng vibrant environments for innova;on;

4.  Member States and Regions need to focus on new innova;ve openings à Regions must present a robust clear innova;on strategy based on Smart Specialisa;on;

5.  Societal challenges involve public sector in a new way à Increased focus on demonstra;on, prototyping, as well as implemen;ng and scaling up societal innova;ons. This means taking to use new concepts, such as Living Labs.

6.  Regional innova;on plaSorms à Work place level & work place learning

Research Program Creating Concepts: Energizing Urban Ecosystem EUE

The Energizing Urban Ecosystems Research Program

•  The Energizing Urban Ecosystems is a research program coordinated by RYM (Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation for Built Environment).

•  The program realizes the RYM’s strategic research agenda through far-reaching, collaborative and multidisciplinary research work done jointly by companies, universities and research centers.

•  The research work will be carried out by 20 industrial partners and Aalto University as the main research partner.

•  The duration of the EUE is 4 years while the estimated research volume (both industrial research and academic research) is € 20 million.

EUE- Research Program for Building Energizing Urban Future

•  The research advocates fundamentally new approach in addressing the comprehensive challenge of planning, designing and management of the future urban ecosystems

•  It is built on progressive visions and key notions on the development of future urban ecosystems, which will enable proactive and effective planning, designing and management of ecologically sustainable, digitalized and innovative living environments with respect to local site conditions, values and culture.

•  The program focuses on studying the core elements of pioneering urban ecosystems, which can combine advanced technical solutions (engineering, digital, mobile and processes) and complementary social systems (for innovation, learning and accumulation of knowledge) that result in competitive business models and solutions.

Young entrepreneurial mindset What are the mechanisms to increase the renewal capital and to maximize

the potential value of the available and emerging enablers (advanced

technological solutions, gradually converging PPP intelligence and

accumulating design competencies) for modern urban developments?

National Centres of Expertise Programme •  A Finnish model of next generation regional policy developed in

the mid 90s with the target to effectively utilize top level regional knowledge and expertise as a resource for business operations, job creation and regional development

•  Programmes and centres of expertise accepted by Finnish Government

•  Programme finances only setting up of the centres - projects have to organize their own financing e.g. from public and private sources.

•  Centres of Expertise are mostly in regions with universities •  Centres were selected from competing proposals
