International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
Knowledge, Place and Economy

1. Introduction
Contemporary economies tend to be interconnected,
in a context of global competition and fast processes of technological change,
requiring a high incorporation of information and knowledge.

Knowledge

This global process demands a strong interaction within local and regional economies
in order to explore synergies and complementarities,
which allow companies to innovate and to compete in global markets.

Innovation

All over the world, the processes of cooperation at local level
between private companies and research centres
are crucial for public institutions with responsibility on economic development,
in order to guarantee high levels of employment and well-being for the citizens.

Cooperation

Nevertheless, there are important obstacles for this collaborative processes:

Aims

Communication

Timings

Finance

Excellence

The purposes of researchers and knowledge centres are often different
from the needs of private companies.

It’s generally difficult for the research centres to understand
how they can contribute for the economic performance of a private company,
while it’s difficult for the private company
to perceive the application of research findings in a productive process.
Scientific research tends to have a long-term perspective,
while companies tend to pursue short term objectives.

Long term research projects oriented to innovative products or services
require financial resources without guaranteed results.

Scientific quality measured by global peer-review standards,
not necessarily adjusted
to the specialization, needs and priorities of local economies.

Opportunities for the Universities within the regional innovation systems:
-

stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit of their staff and students;
provide advice and services to SMEs;
training workers and managers of local companies;
promoting the training and placement of high level graduates in innovative businesses;
host incubators for spin-offs in science and technology parks;
cooperation with companies to design specific curricula.

The results of the collaboration of Universities with private companies
are not quick and they are often unclear, requiring:
- a long term shared vision;
- an holistic approach,
- to be based on programs (with different components and a long term perspective)
rather then projects (with a limited and precise task, to be accomplished in short time).

Knowledge, Place and Economy

Human resources, Innovation and Economy in Europe:

Although Europe hosts a large and diversified
pool of skilled human resources for research and innovation,
this needs to be constantly replenished, improved and adapted
to the rapidly evolving needs of the labor market.
Today only 46% of this pool works in the business sector,
which is much lower than in Europe’s main economic competitors:
69 % in China,
73% in Japan,
80% in the United States.

2. The Triple Helix Framework in Amsterdam and Sapporo

Netherlands
is located in the center of West Europe,
at short distance
from the biggest European economies
(France and Germany),
the Nordic countries
and the United Kingdom,
with a very easy access to the sea.

Logistics, international trade and financial services are economically important.

Knowledge, Place and Economy

The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (AMA)
is located in the center of the Netherlands.
The territorial limits of this area
are the result of a “bottom-up” process
based on initiatives of local governments.
Other important cities,
in economic, political or academic terms
(Utrecht, Leiden, the Hague or Rotterdam),
are located at very short distance.

3. Smart Specialization
The concept of smart specialization has been recently developed at theoretical level (2008)
but quickly adopted as a key-concept for the regional development and innovation policies in the EU
and integrated in the Innovation Union strategies within the Horizon 2020 programs.

This new key concept for the Regional Innovation Policies 2014-2020 (RIS3) aims to:

- increase the focus in a very short number of thematic priorities;
- support “bottom-up” innovative processes;
- encourage experimentation and strategic flexibility;

- promote a bigger involvement of regional stakeholders in the planning process
(including the definition of a “common vision” for the future of the region,
the evaluation of the strategy and the monitoring process);
- be supported by monitoring systems based on precise indicators.

International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
Knowledge, Place and Economy

Each region should develop place and practice-based innovation processes
through an entrepreneurial process of discovery
(including universities or public institutions as creators of “market-oriented” knowledge),
supported by the region’s distinctive industry structures and knowledge
and focused on the creation of unique assets and capabilities,
based on its own strengths.
These strategies should follow a broad concept of innovation
(including design, creative industries or business models)
and concentrate knowledge resources linked to a limited number of priorities.
Innovation:
- localised interaction between market forces, knowledge centres and governmental institutions
(entrepreneurial discovery)
- ensures differentiation and uniqueness in the regional specialization, based on the resources and
capacities available in the territory.
Increase the scale and scope of production,
generate spill-overs from a specific specialization pattern
and from the related variety between interconnected sectors or clusters
should be the main results to achieve.

International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
Knowledge, Place and Economy

The strategic identification of possible inter-cluster or inter-sectorial relations and connections,
in order to generate spill-overs based on “Key Enabling Technologies”
(with impact on different sectors and potential to be developed at local level)
or Information and Communication Technologies,
should follow the identification of priority sectors.

Markets

Societal Challenges
Key enabling
technologies

Sector I

Sector II

Sector III

ICT
Territorial Resources (Knowledge, Human capital, Nature, Industry…)

This strategy should consider the societal and environmental contemporary challenges
(employment, climate change, aging societies)
and to be flexible enough to allow experimentation, creativity and adjustment to changing conditions.

4. Discussion
The structure of the Amsterdam Economic Board is clearly oriented for
a collaborative leadership among local governments, knowledge centres and companies.
The strategic objectives and the performance of the Board can be collectively
monitored and evaluated by all the partners.
The creation of the “Clusters Tables” creates a possibility for the emergence of “bottom-up” projects and
proposals, following the “top-down” guidelines defined by the Board.
The existence of large companies operating in the city favours their integration in AEB.
The impact of AEB’s initiatives in local SMEs is an interesting aspect to evaluate in the future.
The same applies to the priority clusters that were defined:
7 clusters is not exactly a “limited number of priorities”
and this creates problems for the definition of “key-enabling technologies”.
Nevertheless, it’s close to the concept of “Unrelated variety”,
reducing the exposure of the region to sectoral crisis.
International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
Knowledge, Place and Economy

Despite the initial leadership by a local company, RBPPPC is still dependent on the role of the University.

The entrepreneurial structure of the region of Hokkaido,
dominated by small companies with a strong importance of the primary sector,
might affect negatively the the continuity of RBPPPC.
The development of an entrepreneurial processes of discovery or the existence of a common vision
and a collective process monitoring and evaluation require the involvement of the private sector.
Positive focus on the agro-food production,
developing key-enabling technologies related to life science,
with potential impacts on different activities (“related variety”)
(food production, health care, medical products or tourism).
Recent initiatives developed by the City of Sapporo aiming to increase collaboration
with knowledge centres also provide positive impacts.
As the only one nation-wide research university in the region holding core knowledge and creativities,
with an historical orientation to “practical learning”
and having adequate human resources and organizations (such as CIBP and CRIS)
to promote the match between researchers’ seeds and companies’ needs,
Hokkaido University seems an adequate organization to take the lead of RBPPPC in the future.
Nevertheless, its success also depends on the involvement of the local private sector.

  • 1. Knowledge, Place and Economy Smart Specialization and the Triple Helix framework in Amsterdam and Sapporo João Romão VU-Amsterdam Maki Komatsu Hokkaido University International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 2. Knowledge, Place and Economy 1. Introduction Contemporary economies tend to be interconnected, in a context of global competition and fast processes of technological change, requiring a high incorporation of information and knowledge. Knowledge This global process demands a strong interaction within local and regional economies in order to explore synergies and complementarities, which allow companies to innovate and to compete in global markets. Innovation All over the world, the processes of cooperation at local level between private companies and research centres are crucial for public institutions with responsibility on economic development, in order to guarantee high levels of employment and well-being for the citizens. Cooperation International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 3. Knowledge, Place and Economy Nevertheless, there are important obstacles for this collaborative processes: Aims Communication Timings Finance Excellence The purposes of researchers and knowledge centres are often different from the needs of private companies. It’s generally difficult for the research centres to understand how they can contribute for the economic performance of a private company, while it’s difficult for the private company to perceive the application of research findings in a productive process. Scientific research tends to have a long-term perspective, while companies tend to pursue short term objectives. Long term research projects oriented to innovative products or services require financial resources without guaranteed results. Scientific quality measured by global peer-review standards, not necessarily adjusted to the specialization, needs and priorities of local economies. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 4. Knowledge, Place and Economy Opportunities for the Universities within the regional innovation systems: - stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit of their staff and students; provide advice and services to SMEs; training workers and managers of local companies; promoting the training and placement of high level graduates in innovative businesses; host incubators for spin-offs in science and technology parks; cooperation with companies to design specific curricula. The results of the collaboration of Universities with private companies are not quick and they are often unclear, requiring: - a long term shared vision; - an holistic approach, - to be based on programs (with different components and a long term perspective) rather then projects (with a limited and precise task, to be accomplished in short time). International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 5. Knowledge, Place and Economy Human resources, Innovation and Economy in Europe: Although Europe hosts a large and diversified pool of skilled human resources for research and innovation, this needs to be constantly replenished, improved and adapted to the rapidly evolving needs of the labor market. Today only 46% of this pool works in the business sector, which is much lower than in Europe’s main economic competitors: 69 % in China, 73% in Japan, 80% in the United States. European Commission, 2011 International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 6. Knowledge, Place and Economy 2. The Triple Helix Framework in Amsterdam and Sapporo Netherlands is located in the center of West Europe, at short distance from the biggest European economies (France and Germany), the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom, with a very easy access to the sea. Logistics, international trade and financial services are economically important. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 7. Knowledge, Place and Economy The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (AMA) is located in the center of the Netherlands. The territorial limits of this area are the result of a “bottom-up” process based on initiatives of local governments. Other important cities, in economic, political or academic terms (Utrecht, Leiden, the Hague or Rotterdam), are located at very short distance.

  • 16. Knowledge, Place and Economy 3. Smart Specialization The concept of smart specialization has been recently developed at theoretical level (2008) but quickly adopted as a key-concept for the regional development and innovation policies in the EU and integrated in the Innovation Union strategies within the Horizon 2020 programs. This new key concept for the Regional Innovation Policies 2014-2020 (RIS3) aims to: - increase the focus in a very short number of thematic priorities; - support “bottom-up” innovative processes; - encourage experimentation and strategic flexibility; - promote a bigger involvement of regional stakeholders in the planning process (including the definition of a “common vision” for the future of the region, the evaluation of the strategy and the monitoring process); - be supported by monitoring systems based on precise indicators. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 17. Knowledge, Place and Economy Each region should develop place and practice-based innovation processes through an entrepreneurial process of discovery (including universities or public institutions as creators of “market-oriented” knowledge), supported by the region’s distinctive industry structures and knowledge and focused on the creation of unique assets and capabilities, based on its own strengths. These strategies should follow a broad concept of innovation (including design, creative industries or business models) and concentrate knowledge resources linked to a limited number of priorities. Innovation: - localised interaction between market forces, knowledge centres and governmental institutions (entrepreneurial discovery) - ensures differentiation and uniqueness in the regional specialization, based on the resources and capacities available in the territory. Increase the scale and scope of production, generate spill-overs from a specific specialization pattern and from the related variety between interconnected sectors or clusters should be the main results to achieve. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 18. Knowledge, Place and Economy The strategic identification of possible inter-cluster or inter-sectorial relations and connections, in order to generate spill-overs based on “Key Enabling Technologies” (with impact on different sectors and potential to be developed at local level) or Information and Communication Technologies, should follow the identification of priority sectors. Markets Societal Challenges Key enabling technologies Sector I Sector II Sector III ICT Territorial Resources (Knowledge, Human capital, Nature, Industry…) This strategy should consider the societal and environmental contemporary challenges (employment, climate change, aging societies) and to be flexible enough to allow experimentation, creativity and adjustment to changing conditions. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 19. Knowledge, Place and Economy AEB RBPPPC 7 priority clusters From a wide range of high-tech sectors like life science to focus on food sector. Key enabling technologies Unclear. Food and medical technologies applied to primary sector, health or tourism. - “Cluster table” selects projects with commercial potential for each priority cluster - Steering committee evaluates before decision to support from the Board. Not defined (selection of project topics much based on the orientation of the University). Collaborative leadership Local government, private companies and knowledge centers represented in the Board. - No shared leadership formally established. - Financial support for projects is from national government. - Local government is starting to take an initiative for collaborative projects. Shared vision Strategic plan decided by the Board, with the participation of all the members (local government, private companies and knowledge centers). Strategies combined to the ongoing projects organized by the university. Monitoring AEB (Amsterdam) and RBPPPC (Sapporo) according to the Smart Specialization concept Key priorities Clear and measurable objectives to be evaluated by all the members. Broad objectives, difficult to evaluate. Entrepreneurial discovery International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 20. Knowledge, Place and Economy 4. Discussion The structure of the Amsterdam Economic Board is clearly oriented for a collaborative leadership among local governments, knowledge centres and companies. The strategic objectives and the performance of the Board can be collectively monitored and evaluated by all the partners. The creation of the “Clusters Tables” creates a possibility for the emergence of “bottom-up” projects and proposals, following the “top-down” guidelines defined by the Board. The existence of large companies operating in the city favours their integration in AEB. The impact of AEB’s initiatives in local SMEs is an interesting aspect to evaluate in the future. The same applies to the priority clusters that were defined: 7 clusters is not exactly a “limited number of priorities” and this creates problems for the definition of “key-enabling technologies”. Nevertheless, it’s close to the concept of “Unrelated variety”, reducing the exposure of the region to sectoral crisis. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
  • 21. Knowledge, Place and Economy Despite the initial leadership by a local company, RBPPPC is still dependent on the role of the University. The entrepreneurial structure of the region of Hokkaido, dominated by small companies with a strong importance of the primary sector, might affect negatively the the continuity of RBPPPC. The development of an entrepreneurial processes of discovery or the existence of a common vision and a collective process monitoring and evaluation require the involvement of the private sector. Positive focus on the agro-food production, developing key-enabling technologies related to life science, with potential impacts on different activities (“related variety”) (food production, health care, medical products or tourism). Recent initiatives developed by the City of Sapporo aiming to increase collaboration with knowledge centres also provide positive impacts. As the only one nation-wide research university in the region holding core knowledge and creativities, with an historical orientation to “practical learning” and having adequate human resources and organizations (such as CIBP and CRIS) to promote the match between researchers’ seeds and companies’ needs, Hokkaido University seems an adequate organization to take the lead of RBPPPC in the future. Nevertheless, its success also depends on the involvement of the local private sector. International Symposium on the Creation of Sustainable Campuses 2013 – Hokkaido University
