IPP regions
Idea of IPP project
Many options how regions can benefit from participation in EU programmes
and innitiatives
Successful regional development models is the ability to access these
benefits more efefctively and to diffuse knowledge in the region
This also relates to the ability to join international partnerships and to access
international know-how particularly in the field of innovation
Very often the participation rate of regions in interregional co-operation is
rather low
Low performance of public and private agencies to support the participation
rate in EU programmes
Increasing the involvement of IPP regions in European
interregional co-operation and innovation programmes
reach higher capacity of regions for strengthening
research, technology and innovation
Strategic Goal of IPP Project
Activities of IPP project Benchmarking (participation in EU programmes, support structure for
internationalization, internationalization strategies) In Latvia was made study “Participation of local authorities, NGOs and
univeristies of Latvia in EU programmes and innitiatives” – www.vraa.gov.lv
Regional partnerships -> Partnership Platform-> exchange of experience, joint project applications and cooperation concepts in the field of SME policies, environment, research and energy etc.
Joint IT tool for partner search www.i-p-p.eu - try it!!!! Implementation of two Pilot Projects:
Cooperation between EU-funds advisory agencies Internationalization strategy for local authorities
Action Plan -> how to transfer the good practices into
internationalization policies of regions and operational programmes of Structural Funds

IPP benchmark helps to identify these specific strengths and
share these experiences with other IPP regions to lift the general level of participation in the EU programmes of the IPP regions

Ranking of Obstacles
Expectations from Interregional Copperation Saxony-Anhalt improvement of local economical power and competitiveness is the principal advantage of interregional cooperation Valencia interregional cooperation should help economic actors to expand their markets and business networks companies will create demand for human resources which would increase the degree of employment in the region
Észak-Alföld Interregional cooperation has to be a concrete effects on regional policy Latvia exchange of experience and new approaches concerning regional development to become more visible for investors and tourists
Pilot Project “EU Funds Advisory Service Agencies”
Lead Partner: Saxony-Anhalt (sucessfull internationalization
strategy)
Main Goals:
Exchange of experience on good practice examples of services offered
in IPP-regions
Development of joint strategies for forming partner consortia
Enhance cooperation between the regions
Target groups:
Public EU-service agencies (Development Agencies, planning regions,
EU programmes contactopints etc.)
Business support organizations (EEN contactpoints, SMS development
agencies)
Universities and academic networks

Main Goals:
to elaborate methodology for Strategic Plan of Internationalization to develop the Strategic Plan for Internationalization of local authorities and all parties involved in their administration

Industry, R+D+I, Services, Retail, Reataurants and hotels
Internationalization Strategy of Paterna
Promotion of the city as the biggest enclave in Spain
Improve the visibility of Paetrna as an appropriate target for
Aims of “Paterna, City of Business”
Why Internationalize? Emigration, unemployment rates remain elevated, entrepreneurs are complaining
about high taxes and lack of labor force,....
Budgets of municipalities are insufficient for problem solving -> planning and
search for new gateways are needed to be done. One of the possible opportunities is
to attract external financing by implementing projects of various type and shape and
to learn from others’ good practice
Each municipality possesses a certain potential for support in internationalization
process; unfortunately too often this potential is used not in a coordinated and strategic
way
Internationalization can be used as instrument for achievement of the goals set
in the development plans of municipalities
Expected Results
Attraction international population
- investors, visitors, traders, immigrants
Increasing capital and investments
- in order to achieve sustainable development and increase
competitiveness of enterpreneurs
