ScanBalt COMPETENCEREGION - a model case to enhance European competitiveness in life sciences, genomics and biotechnology for health on a global scale

Objective

Europe takes part in a global competition for scientists, capital and knowledge - major factors of importance for societal growth. Especially in the United States regions like Bay Area, Massachusetts or North Carolina have developed to a critical mass far beyond the potentials of individual regions in Europe or other parts of the world. The foundation of ScanBalt BioRegion as a Pan-European life science/biotech "meta region" opens the perspective of closing this gap.

It is the objective of ScanBalt's project COMPETENCEREGION
- to provide an extensive and structured mapping of the Pan-European ScanBalt Bioregion providing a status and overview with respect to actors, competencies, framework conditions and other relevant factors on a globally comparable basis,
- to spot globally competitive core competencies and capabilities as well as key challenges in life science, genomics and biotechnology for health,
- to identify potentials for enhanced cooperations between scientists, health care organisations and entrepreneurs within the ScanBalt Bioregion, with a special focus on the candidate countries,
- to identify and motivate potential collaboration partners for joint activities within the framework of existing and future EU-programs and to thus create a platform for the development of transnational clusters according to best-practice,
- to accelerate the linkage and integration of the EU candidate countries into Europe's existing science, health care and business communities,
- to develop in a model case joint regional strategies and recommendations how to strengthen the competitiveness of a Pan-European region,
- to contribute with the results of an in-depth analysis to recommendations for the optimisation and restructuring of the European research area and thus enhance European competitiveness in life science, genomics and biotechnology for health on a global scale.
