Being equipped with improved and more realistic, fine-grained RIS3 monitoring systems, regions in the Baltic Sea Region can better assess and adjust their innovation policy instruments. This leads to higher efficiency and effectiveness of the innovation policies and finally a more innovative Baltic Sea Region.
Since 2016 the Interreg Baltic Sea Region projects EmpInno and EmpInno Monitor S3 supported partner regions in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden to foster the implementation and improvement of RIS3. This happened inter alia by providing diverse actors from strategy owners to strategy implementers with the needed resources to work with the RIS3 approach and by boosting cooperation with SMEs within and beyond the partner regions.
The project partners want to exchange and discuss with you how more efficient innovation policies can be designed with the help of better RIS3 monitoring systems. Therefore, EmpInno Monitor S3
invites all interested stakeholders of the Innovation Ecosystem of the Baltic
Sea Region to attend the projects’ final conference on 16th June 2021.
