Putting entrepreneurial knowledge to work Smart specialisation addresses the difficult problem of prioritisation and resource allocation decisions by allowing entrepreneurial actors to demonstrate the most promising areas for future regional development through what has been described as an'entrepreneurial process of discovery.'
In this case, links between local universities and strong public-private partnerships are the types of strategies that may be essential for smart specialisation to work.
