ICT, energy, transport) The fiction of integration due to territorial discontinuity, hurdles to mobility and additional costs Low participation in national, European and international R&d&i instruments, both public and private (extremely low by enterprises) Low innovative deal flow and private funding The challenge of ICTS National context Mutual learning and collaboration with other regions Balearic islands pose many similarities Coordination with the central Government must be reinforced European context Mutual learning and collaboration with other ORS, very significantly with the Macaronesianarea Participation in many benchmarking EC-funded projects, specially with ORS, insular and other regions facing similar challenges Highly demonstrative pilot projects International context The Canary islands are the EU outpost in north western Africa=>Opportunity for both, for example: Rational water and energy management Sustainable agriculture and fishing Health service provisioning Educational and research mentoring Development in Africa requires innovative and affordable technologies, an opportunity for exporting enterprises Solid relation with other territories, specially in America How external knowledge can be harnessed? Economically useful innovation requires flows of a different nature (ideas, talent, projects, capital,) and constructive competition Flows are hampered severely: we need integration!!!Why we in the Canary islands miss opportunities to exploit, for a knowledge-based economy, the availability of good ideas and innovations? Desalination and water management (1stin Europe) Wind power and other renewable energies Astrophysics technology, biotechnology, etc. The entrepreneurial dynamics is not working properly due to a vicious circle boosted by lack of internal (fragmentation) and external integration (distance) and low critical mass Market failure on the supply side (private funds) and on the demand side (availability of ENOUGH projects to generate attractive project portfolios for dealflow which leads to a lack of cases of success and of a really competitive soul in this area, while business efforts have concentrated in easier sectors (tourism & construction) We have to build on top of what we already have Tourism is the main socioeconomic engine for regional growth->modernisation & gateway to diversification Increase productivity in existing sectors->modernisation & reorganisation Balance the productive structure by taking advantage of existing assets through novel entrepreneurship: 1. Education: learning to be entrepreneurial 2. Raising awareness: motivation 3. Training and Advice 4. Funding: subsidies and loans 5. Creation of the company6.
