Innovation Competences and Entrepreneurial skills (WP4)
Mats Hedenström, Kista Science City
Project part-financed by the European Union
Main findings and results
• High competitiveness in terms of innovation resources* - over 200 HIE, 1 million students - over EUR 20 billion invested in R&D annually (47% of the total R&D input of the Baltic Sea Region) - leading science and technology parks/science cities
• Extensive flora of innovation and entrepreneurship support actors and programs , but different approaches to innovation governance
• Similarities in innovation infrastructure
*only Inno partner ciites, i.e. excl. Oslo, Vilnius, Warsaw

Innovation Support and Governance
• Often overflow of support actors and programs,sometimes overlapping, sometimes addressing either innovation support OR the entrepreneurial process, thus covering only a fragment of the value chain need for orchestration or pruning of resources
• BaltMet essentially a city network in most cities restricted or no governance over innovation resources (e.g. universities)
• Two different approaches to innovation governance: policy-centrism vs voluntary networks

Spatial clustering of innovation resources - Established (Kista Science City, Adlershof, Otaniemi) as well as - Emerging (Örestad, Arabia-ranta, Sunrise Valley, BioScience/Northern station)
Project part-financed by the European Union
Conclusions
• Spatial planning probably the most effective tool for cities to exert impact on innovation governance and to attract international talent to the region
Fields of joint activities and future collaboration:- Benchmarks and benchlearning in planning and expansion of innovation infrastructures- Joint activities between innovation actors, e.g. Incubator training programs (pilot run in May 07 in Stockholm))- Entrepreneurship education: joint summer schools, boot-camps- Joint innovation prizes, e.g. Baltic Challenge
Prerogatives:- win-win situations - involvement of suitable partners
