(intermediaries)> Top level: Regional Economic development plan
(SRDE)> Includes coordinated approach from financers and policy
makers (State, Region, local govt., CCI, …)> Ground level: Creation of an « Innovation Gateway »
> Direct access to information on innovation in Brittany, dedicated to SME’s :

> A gateway giving access to all relevant information concerning innovation support for SME’s
> Simplifies the network, valorises the participation and actions of the partners

Improving Evaluation; Tools & method to
evaluate the impact of regional innovation policies
>EU support for RIS for over 10 years:>No systematic evaluation of the impact
of the innovation support structures and policies put in place

Regional Self Assessment
>Policy objectives X intermediaries (matrix 1), clarify priorities top/ground
>Intermediaries X services offered (matrix 2) + policy/services, check for variations
>Services X Innovation enablers (matrix 3), check for gaps is service offer
>Services X firms outcomes, identify impact>Service providers perception + firms perception

Regional Benchmarking
>Comparative analysis of innovation policy impact for:>Information exchange>Cross-fertilisation>Mutual learning>Transfer of best practice>Identification of common strategic issues
>Profile types for different regions>Enable meaningful comparisons of impact X
objectives irrespective of region typology
Page 11
Conclusion
>Evaluation of the impact of RIS is a priority for Regional Government and EC
>Working in the framework of an FP6 program mutualises actions, shares knowledge, and improves efficiency
>Comparing policy objectives with achieved results enables benchmarking despite regional differences
>Recommendation(s) for improving innovation support will be identified
>Sharing of this methodology will both benefit other regions and improve benchmarking
