Visualising Innovation in Östergötland, East Sweden
The partnership of the EmpInno project convened
in the city of Norrköping, East Sweden, on 14th and 15th
February for their fourth transnational meeting. Hosted by the Region of
Östergötland, the partners further exchanged about how to raise organisational
capacity to work with smart specialisation strategies and about general issues
in the RIS3 process. To simplify the communication with internal and external
stakeholders, the partners started the visual process of creating short videos,
to spread the word about their region and their strengths. The partners
from the Region Östergötland presented their regional innovation system and the RIS3 and
discussed with the partnership about the approach to support
regional enabling platforms instead of choosing priorities (you can find more
information on the smart specialisation strategy in the download section here).
Finally, the partners were impressed by a study trip to the
research and science centre “Visualisation Centre C” that creates mind-blowing
interactive digital experiences by combining state-of-the-art visualisation
technology with intuitive interaction design. The initiative “Visual Sweden” is a part of
the region's smart sepcialisation strategy that fosters innovation processes
and was awarded by the highly competitive National Swedish innovation Programme
“Vinnväxt” as winner a funding perspective for up to ten years.
