3 BSR STARS VISION BSR Stars purpose is to create a number of world leading innovation hubs in the Baltic Sea region by linking strong Research & Innovation milieus, Clusters and SME networks

4 Intra regional trade flows of 30 50% A larger critical mass in research and innovation A stronger value chain can be offered within the macro region. Complementary competences, increased possibility to use tacit knowledge which creates renewal and innovation Larger home innovation platform when making global business.

8 Transnational clusters

9 Transnational clusters Purpose to enable the emergence of globally competitive strategic alliances and collaborations through establishing stronger linkages between existing regional and national clusters and initiating new transnational linkages between organizations. Strategic Idea The strategic idea for transnational cluster collaboration is to motivate and catalyze strategic opportunity (e.g. grand challenges) driven networked innovation processes through identifying unique capabilities of the clusters and through developing new growth opportunities for the BSR Region. The program will initially focus more on creating linkages between existing clusters (and other actors). In the longer run it will focus transnational cluster collaboration as a platform for more cross-sector, exploratory and risk-taking activities.

10 Transnational clusters Two complementary approaches on clustering activity: Networking of existing clusters Creation of new cross sector clusters/platforms & strategic alliances on the basis of grand business potentials

13 Financing of BSR Stars

14 Activities Sept2010 June 2011

15 Development of BSR Stars Innovation activities and resources Innovation activities and resources (human and financial) increase over time BSR InnoNet & BSR_CBP Natl and Nordic financing FP6 & ERDF The next critical milestone is the implementation of the Stardust project EU schemes National and Regional financing Different financing schemes levered, depending on the type of transnational activity New EU schemes

16 Criteria for choosing the specific transnational collaboration activities 1. Global demand -Large future market potentials- 2. Based upon existing strengths in the BSR -Areas where there are strongholds in more than one country. 3. Potential to create added value by transnational cooperation in the BSR region, 4. Strong leadership & Innovation focus. 16
