OUR KEY MESSAGE WHEN CONTACTING COMPANIES TO WORK ON CROSS SECTORIAL PROJET

‘’Breakthrough innovation come from the reunion of stakeholders working at the interface of two or more different industries working together to integrate their knowledge into an

added-value goods or services’’

Cross sectorial innovation and cross sectorial mapping

OUR APPROCH IS ALIGNED WITH THE NEW TRADED CLUSTER DEFINITION PROPOSED IN THE US CLUSTER MAPPING PROJECT

‘’The new cluster definitions propose 51 traded cluster categories while treating the rest of the economy as local. Traded clusters capture those industries that are serving markets beyond their own location and that are fully exposed to competition from other locations’’ * design the strongest existing

‘’Cluster categories capture by linkages among industries, however much economic dynamism is perceived to occur at the intersection of sectors. But the nature of these linkages is continuously shifting, driven by new technologies, value chains, and business models. Effective economic development needs to respond to these trends as it aims to move a location into more advanced activities.‘’*

ENHANCE INNOVATION AND MOBILISATION BY CROSS SECTORIAL MAPPING

Foster relationship and projects of key players

Cross sectorial traded ClustersUniversities / Technology transfers centers / Companies / Laboratories

Québec Ground Transportation Cluster

Objective

Develop segments of our industry where companies are competitive, where markets are present and will be present for their products

and services through innovation.

Innovation:R & D by regional, interregional and

international alliances and open innovation.

Markets:Targeting international markets since the local

market is covered or limited.

ENHANCE INNOVATION AND MOBILISATION BY CROSS SECTORIAL MAPPING

Sub-objectives

A1: Disseminate the results of themapping and analysis of the structure

of the value chain

A2: Helping regional government and organization to select their initiatives

and target champions

A3: Strengthening the competitiveness ofcompanies, their capacity for innovation

and synergy of the productive system

Help regional businesses to specializetheir products and services in markets

that will undergo a real increasein the future

Specialize the regional environment to

support the incorporation ofnew expertise, know how

and new technologies(training, coaching, incentives for innovation, ...)

Support productivity gain and facilitate the emergenceand development of new products through innovation

NEXT POSSIBLE STEPS TO MOVE FROM A PROJECT BASED T0 A SYSTEMIC APPROCH IN CROSS SECTORIAL INNOVATION

A1: Strategic analysis of a regiontraded clusters

A2: Mobilize the different cluster governance to foster cooperation

A3: Develop a new emerging cluster branding that include the different traded clusters

needed in a specific emerging market

Identify trend in products and services development in key economic segments and

emerging markets

Going further than a project base relationship

Joining key competitive advantages

to strengthen a regional economy with a unify branding (Example: Quebec Mobility technologies Cluster)
