cooperation in innovation

The “Third Globalisation”
First wave: Markets
Increasing openness and “thickness” due to Free Trade
reforms
Second round: Manufacturing sites
Geographical redistribution of production places where the
cost of labour (and living) is lower
Third round: (Segments of) Value Chains
Geographical 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. disintegration
Example: a firm creates / dismisses an internal design
team
Stability (or persistence) of business relations
Example: a firm joins / leaves a network of OEM’s or
subcontractors
Multiple value chains
Example: Forestry  Furniture, Forestry  Pulp & Paper
Sectorial diversification
More 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 Einstein
Knowledge 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
…BUT
regional / national
cooperation has
little or no effect,
esp. on DUL
ALL
types of
interaction
matter…
CONCLUSIONS:
1) Excessive territorial proximity may
be detrimental to innovation
2) Heterogeneity of industrial agents is
important

Increasing role for ETC
Experimentation space for Macro-Regional Strategies
Danube, Adriatic-Ionian
Transnational dimension of Blue Growth
Especially relevant to MED Space
New links with ENPI and Sea Basin policies
Extending scope and relevance
Spatial dimension of Territorial Cohesion
Bringing ESPON into action
And more…
 Framework for «outward looking» policies in the
RIS3 context

Triple loop learning
Policies

Single Loop Learning
“How to do things right”
Double Loop Learning
“How to do the right things”
Triple Loop Learning
“How to decide what is right”
Indicators

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
relevant
Tight time-scales of RIS3, little possibility to pay attention
Barriers to contributing to broader challenges
Policy discontinuity from programme to programme
Lack of capitalization, integration of results
Capacity building of policy makers
Need 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 coordination
Platforms 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 models
Towards a Europe of multiple roads to innovation
