Title Lessons from Oresund Regional Innovation System on Cleantech Development, Cross-border Cooperation and Academic Entrepreneurship
Summary It is attempted to create a holistic view on the regional innovation system (RIS) of Öresund, a cross-border area between Denmark and Sweden, with a purpose to develop some lessons for RISs in other regions and for Russia, in particular. Cleantech, cross-border cooperation and academic entrepreneurship were chosen as perspectives of Öresund RIS to study since they are relevant for the region and because their analysis could be valuable.
Experiences from Öresund related to networking, branding, development of cleantech clusters and education for entrepreneurship considered to be useful. Networking initiatives, supported by the interested parties on the regional, national and international level play an important role in creating of a common ground for collaboration. Nevertheless, these initiatives have limited capacity for solving specific problems of RIS of the region. Another lesson is that efficient branding could help to develop a good image and attract investors on a certain stage, but it is need to be supported with effective policy incentives. Ambitious low-carbon goals, promotion of education for entrepreneurship and organizing different stakeholders into cleantech cluster could be effective measure to promote cleantech innovation in RIS. Finally, it is suggested that studying of RIS requires utilization of analysis of the both sources: secondary, i.e. literature review, and primary: data analysis – interviewing of the regional stakeholders.
