The points both regions had to overcome and for which they sought advice were:
and the unsolved issues:
The two teams did a great job in demonstrating the reality of their place-based choices and in ensuring a fair participation of all stakeholders in the design of the RIS3. They also deployed efforts to ensure the participation of private stakeholders in the R&D+I activities.
The main difficulties they had to face were:
The Canary Islands are facing a big challenge: how to sustain the high level of expertise in astrophysics and in marine sciences, even though the dedicated centres don’t contribute to the current local fabric. The R&D excellence is an oasis in a desert of innovation. Nord-Pas-de-Calais’ difficulties are related to the complex French governance system. In theory France has regions with an elected Chambre but the state bodies still have the final word as well as the financial means in hands.
I also contributed by providing ideas of tools implemented somewhere else or by thinking in a slightly different way. By way of example the list of tools which might provide inspiration to the Canary Island’s stakeholders for renewing their portfolio of support services is reproduced hereafter.
Another example is my suggestion to the Nord-Pas-de-Calais RIS3 team to gain a better insight in the entrepreneurial discovery process which is illustrated hereafter.
Entrepreneurial discovery process: support measures to enhance market maturity
I believe these missions were a good win-win exercise. The RIS3 teams could benefit from an outsider’s view, and a catalyst for consensus-building between the various stakeholders. For me it was a challenge to explain which and how tools can be adapted to a given environment.
