Enhancing the Competitiveness of Croatian Economy through Smart Specialisation
“2nd Training Workshop on Smart Specialisation for South East European countries”Skopje, November 20 - 21
EU 2020
• Europe 2020 is the EU's growth strategy for the coming decade
• EU wants to become a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. These three mutually reinforcing priorities should help the EU and the Member States deliver high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion
• EU has set five ambitious objectives - on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy - to be reached by 2020. Each Member State has adopted its own national targets in each of these areas
• Concrete actions at EU and national levels underpin the strategy
Croatia/Europe 2020 headline targets
S3 - Context
• Key objective for EU-economy is increasing competitiveness through “smart, inclusive and sustainable growth” (Europe 2020 strategy, 2010)
• Key objective is broken down in 11 thematic objectives, to be achieved through sectoral and regional policy interventions
• EU-Cohesion Policy, Horizon 2020, and funding for programming period 2014-2020 will be closely related to Europe 2020 strategy
• Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) is ex-ante conditionality for investments from ERDF in research and innovation (R&I) and access/quality of ICT-infrastructure in each EU-Member State
Smart Specialisation in Croatia
• Will focus on those niches and S&T-areas where Croatia has prospects for smart, inclusive and sustainable growth, building on the country’s strengths, comparative advantages and potential for excellence
• Will concentrate policy support and investments on key national priorities, challenges and needs for knowledge-based development, including ICT-related measures
• Is based on a broader concept of innovation, not only investment in research or the manufacturing sector, but also building competitiveness through design and creative industries, social and service innovation, new business models and practice-based innovation
• Should make bridge between sectoral analyses/strategies and development of OP-priorities 2014-2020, with a longer term perspective
COMPETITIVE CROATIASTRATEGY FOR BOOSTING COMPETITIVENESS
How can we effect competitiveness?
4C
Priorities carefully selected based on territorial capital and smart
specialization
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Match R&D and innovation capacities with priority sector needs
CHOICES AND CRITICAL MASS
COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP
Effective innovation system based on public and private partnerships
CLUSTERS AND CONNECTIVITY
Cluster development and connecting business, science and
government
Identified sectors of importance to Croatia
Sectors with high added value (pharmaceuticals and medical equipment production, chemical industry, automobile industry, defense industry, electrical and mechanical machines and equipment production, ICT, creative industry, construction industry) Traditional sectors with territorial capital (food-processing industry, wood processing industry, the maritime industry, textile industry)
Horizontal sectors: biotechnology, nanotechnology, micro-and nano-electronics and photonics, advanced materials and technologies

Croatian Competitiveness Cluster
Sector specific non-profit organization which brings together the business, scientific and policy making communities in a formal structure.
Stakeholders in combination, represent the ‘Triple Helix’ concept.
The intention is to gather the best players in their field – small, medium and large companies, business clusters, public and science and research institutions in order to develop synergies and cooperative efforts. The final outcome of this synergy will be increased national Sector competitiveness.
