Estonian regional innovation strategy

Objective

The current project has been prepared and submitted jointly by 3 Estonian regions and has an ambitious objective to develop the project according to 3 in 1 model, i.e. instead of implementing 3 different projects for building regional innovation strategies for the specific regions in Estonia common project has been prepared aiming from one hand to develop a common strategic framework which would be relevant for all Estonia but at the same time prepare and launch in parallel three region specific innovation action plans.

This approach will help to optimise and customise the regional innovation systems according to the innovation needs and business development potential of the corresponding regions and the needs and objectives of all the regional actors. At the same time synergies will be fostered between the 3 regional RIS processes.

It is expected that ERIS project will create an overall strategic framework and 3 regional action plans, which will enable to improve support actions on regional and national level and to better co-ordinate developments in field of innovation which are already underway.

In addition the project should help to develop on bottom-up basis the priorities for the next National Development Plan outlining the usage of structural funds resources in Estonia during the next programming period as well as the renewed version of national innovation strategy - Knowledge Based Estonia.

The project will undertake the following actions to reach those objectives:
- Building a regional consensus among main actors of innovation in target regions
- Raising public awareness both at regional and national level about the key role of innovation in regional economic development
- Identifying and analysing the needs of regional enterprises with special attention to the needs of SMEs
- Analysing the regional supply of innovation and innovation support
- Preparing a strategic framework and 3 regional innovation action plans
