Cas$lla y León: Towards a RIS3 strategy Crete, 26-27 september 2013 Gregorio Muñoz Abad CASTILLA Y LEÓN 2 Expectations from the peer review workshop Questions we would like peers discussion Introduction of Castilla y León's work on research and innovation Governance Building the evidence base for RIS3 Looking beyond regions's boundaries Looking at entrepreneurial dynamics Main Objectives of RIS3 Priorities Digital Growth priorities Why these priorities? Implementation and budget Measuring progress Your self-assessment Summary and next steps Questions we would like peers to discuss Index Expectations from the Peer review Workshop Sharing with others the region's experiences, and learning about some new S3 aspects, such as: New planning issues: Further policy integration: Digital Knowledge Society, Education Deainition of Plans, more speciaic than the Strategy. Reduction of priorities, and resources'concentration. Evaluation and monitoring of programmes, not only the whole strategy. Wider governance: Mobilise the whole society, beyond the business sector. The S3 as a revulsive face the crisis: Stop the fall of private and public investment in R&d. International approach: ü Co--operation with other regions (institutional. ü Increase participation in international programmes. 3 Questions we would like peers discussion We have three main issues to discuss: Integration of horizontal priorities with vertical priorities How to link the horizontal instruments: programs and plans with prioritized areas: economic, scientiaic and technologic. Indicators How to deaine indicators, specially those related with the results. How to quantify the indicators in a realistic way (previous contrast with key actors, past experiences...Policy Integration: Digital Knowledge Society with R+DI How to link objectives and programs How to coordinate measures to promote the use of ICT with innovation support for companies. 4 Introduction of Castilla y León's work on research and innovation (I) Previous experience with RIS or innovation and research policy.

The past experience feeds into the new RIS3: Progressive integration of policies The University--Business Strategy, TCUE program, the support to business start-ups Consensus building with regional actors. Deainition of priority sectors (Strategic Competitiveness Framework. Monitoring and evaluation systems: statistical indicators transparency. Regional and National Coordination: There are national and regional RIS3 in Spain. Formal coordination through the Council of S&t and Innovation Policy. Still room for technical (in depth, detailed) cooperation between both levels. 6 Introduction of Castilla y León's work on research and innovation (II) Strategic vision for the future of Castilla y León TO ACHIEVE A COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE GLOBAL CONTEXT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE REGION'S GOALS: Employment and sustainable economic growth Social and territorial cohesion Improved quality of life 7 Introduction of Castilla y León's work on research and innovation (III) 8 Coordinator: Commissioner for Science and Technology. Regional partnership: Identiaied from previous knowledge, new comers, hidden leaders, etc. Involves: Regional ministries. Universities and research centres Technology centres Companies, business associations and clusters Roles of the actors: consultation (interviews), contrast (meetings. Decisions about RIS3: Final decisions taken at high political level. Based on relevant, objective information provided by the participatory process. Proposals by regional actors.

Existence of technology infrastructures: technology parks, science parks, ICTS, etc..High working population's education level. Business expenditure on R&d bigger than the public, and above the national average. Competitiveness (resistance to the crisis) of some strategic activities and sectors at global level. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (I) SWOT Analysis R&d&i 11 Weaknesses Strong impact of the crisis: loss of illusion of regional actors (realected on R&d&i indicators. Low institutional leadership in R&d&i actions (though there is coordination. Science little related to regional economic tissue; still insufaicient university--business relationship. University graduates not adapted to companies'needs. Universities are low in national (and international) rankings. Small size of companies, and low technology level and absorption capacity. Brain drain. Reduced internationalization. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (I) SWOT Analysis R&d&i 12 Opportunities Exploitation of trends of future in some areas, such as agro food, health and quality of life and energy and environment. Development of applications in some Aields, such as materials, production processes, ICT and biotechnology. Interrelationship among economic sectors, and integration of value chains: technological cross--application of ICT, energy and environment and biotechnology, etc. New programming period 2014--2020 (cohesion funds, Horizon 2020, etc.:synergies and complementarities of funds and integration of policies and instruments. Redekine Ainancial instruments and the role of Administration as service provider. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (I) SWOT Analysis R&d&i 13 Threats Extension of effects of the crisis. Difaiculty of access to Kinancial markets. Decline of private investment. especially reduction of R&d&i investment. Reduction of public budget for R&d&i: loss of support structure to R&d&i. Increasing competition in international markets. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (I) SWOT Analysis R&d&i 14 Strengths Availability of broadband coverage throughout the territory (universal service). Computer equipment and Internet access; digital natives; use of mobile devices. Existence of facilities and centers of reference in ICT. Extensive use of electronic means, especially in the relation with Public Administration, and within it (e--health, e--education). Qualiaied ICT professionals, and supply of graduates from University and vocational training. ICT sector specialized in mobility and security. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (II) SWOT Analysis Knowledge Digital Society 15 Weaknesses Large region with difkicult orography: sustainability of ICT infrastructures. Mostly micro SMES and traditional sectors self-employed: low level of adoption of ICT, especially in retail. Fragmented regional ICT sector: size--related problems. Aged population with less training and knowledge of use of ICT tools. In some cases, limited leadership, resistance to change and insufaicient internal coordination for implementation of ICT in public administrations. Lack of rationalization/simpliaication of administrative procedures for their electronic implementation, especially in Local government. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (II) SWOT Analysis Knowledge Digital Society 16 Opportunities Importance of ICT in the new framework of European funding. ICT applications as a major competitiveness driver in companies. Nearshore: capacity of the region to attract ICT companies to settle in the territory. New technologies (satellite, mobile broadband) instead of infrastructures. New trends: social networks, mobility and geolocation; telework; Cloud computing, pay--peruse models; Open Data, demand for contents, more usable technologies closer to citizens, etc. Growing possibilities for use of ICT in the public sector (energy saving, education, health, social care. New models of public--private cooperation that reduces costs (synergies. Building the evidence base for RIS3 (II) SWOT Analysis Knowledge Digital Society 17 Threats Low prokitability for operators in rural areas; sustainability of infrastructures. Complexity of the regulatory framework on ICT. Low conkidence in digital environment. Low usability of services and complexity in use of digital certiaication systems. Fast changes in technologies and ICT standards. Lack of interoperability and standardization of digital contents and services.

Mid--term review. Follow-up by S&t Coordination Commission Indicators: Still to be deained: Statistical for impact measurement. Direct for measures performance. Must be linked between them (consistent system. Take into account the Operational Programme. Measuring progress Source: S3 Platform/EURADA 29 012345 Driving economic change through smart specialisation/RIS3 Informal assessment-region S Castilla y León Self-assessment Main challenge: to reverse the downward trend of indicators (crisis). Next steps: Validate the vertical priorities chosen (Mid october) Deaine the evaluation and monitoring system (end October) Elaborate the budgetary scenario (Mid november) Writing the Ainal complete version of the Strategy (Mid december) Formal approval by the regional government (end December) Ofaicial presentation (Spring) 30 Summary and next steps Why: It is complex to link each priority to horizontal priorities avoiding duplicities. How to link the horizontal instruments: programs and plans with prioritized areas: economic, scientiaic and technologic. How to establish a coordinated system for all involved public administration. What has been done: We have contrasted the horizontal priorities with regional agents and also, we have identiaied vertical priorities. What worked: The basis identiaication has worked. What did not work: The problem is to do the matrix. 31 Question 1: Integration of horizontal priorities with vertical priorities Why: It will be very important to have a good monitoring and evaluation system because we will have less Ainancial resources. So we must be more efaicient. How to link output and outcome indicators. What has been done: We have the experience from the last strategies. What worked: It included statistical impact indicators, ofaicial and public (transparent. What did not work: Limited information about speciaic activities; results indicators linked to single measures are missing. 32 Question 2: Indicators Question 3: Policy Integration: Digital Knowledge Society with R&d&i Why: The Airst time that both strategies are together. Till now, two different regional strategies, with different approaches and structures. What has been done: The analysis of the starting point, the SWOT analysis, the regional specialisation pattern and the objectives. What worked: good communication and collaboration between regional ministry for ICT and Commissioner in charge of strategies. Common specialisation pattern. What did not work: SWOT and strategic objectives are different. Technically difaicult to put together. 33 34 Thank you Mr. Gregorio MUÑOZ-ABAD Deputy Commissioner for Science & Technology munabagr@jcyl. es
