RIS3 as a tool to promote transnational
cooperation in innovationFrancesco Molinari, mail@francescomolinari.it

The “Third Globalisation”
First wave: MarketsIncreasing openness and “thickness” due to Free Trade reforms
Second round: Manufacturing sitesGeographical redistribution of production places where the cost of labour (and living) is lower
Third round: (Segments of) Value ChainsGeographical redistribution of (some of the) corporate activities that, taken together, concur to a product/service design, assembly, consumption and disposal or recycling.

Notable Dynamics
Functional integration Vs. disintegrationExample: a firm creates / dismisses an internal design team
Stability (or persistence) of business relationsExample: a firm joins / leaves a network of OEM’s or subcontractors
Multiple value chainsExample: Forestry Furniture, Forestry Pulp & Paper
Sectorial diversificationMore often driven by product, rather than process, innovation

Limits of Local Knowledge
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it”
Attributed to Albert EinsteinKnowledge is no longer localised (if it ever was) geographically and sectorially, but diffused and distributed across actors and territories
The issue is not that much of accessing it, but giving order, sense, logic to available information
A coordination problem that adds to Entrepreneurial Discovery
In the sense of Foray

Impacts (2)

International cooperation is conducive to all kinds of
innovation…
…BUT cooperation with competitors can significantly
harm entrepreneurial capacity to innovate
…BUTregional / national
cooperation has little or no effect,
esp. on DULALL
types of interaction matter…
CONCLUSIONS:
1) Excessive territorial proximity may be detrimental to innovation
2) Heterogeneity of industrial agents is important
Francesco Molinari
Increasing role for ETC
Experimentation space for Macro-Regional Strategies
Danube, Adriatic-IonianTransnational dimension of Blue Growth
Especially relevant to MED SpaceNew links with ENPI and Sea Basin policies
Extending scope and relevanceSpatial dimension of Territorial Cohesion
Bringing ESPON into actionAnd more…

Difficulties faced
Lack of recognition of ETC as a strategic, relevant and exploitable contribution to RIS3
“Silo” effect of organization in most regions Too little money, too fine granularity of experience to be relevantTight time-scales of RIS3, little possibility to pay attention
Barriers to contributing to broader challengesPolicy discontinuity from programme to programmeLack of capitalization, integration of resultsCapacity building of policy makersNeed of integrating the private sector
Francesco Molinari 18
Case in point
CreativeMED shows how Territorial Cooperation can bring added-value to Regional Innovation Policies by not only sharing and transferring good practices but also exchanging and integrating support resources and infrastructures trans-locally
CreativeMED shows how field-based experience, conclusions and best practices of pilot projects can be transformed through an integrated model that can guide broader and/or higher-impact policy processes and choices
Francesco Molinari 19
Open Issues
Links between emergent bottom-up macro-regional strategies and top-down definitions
Openness vs coordinationPlatforms for sustainability of policy learning and innovation processes
Long term support to social and institutional innovation
Applicability of CreativeMED model to other TN-ETC geographical areas
Cultural framing of macro-regional modelsTowards a Europe of multiple roads to innovation
