ISBN 978-83-940435-9-9 2 Dear Readers, I am pleased to present you with the Regional Innovation Strategy for the Lubelskie Voivodeship 2020. I believe that the assumptions developed and presented in this document will have an actual impact on starting the innovative transformation process for the enterprises as well as the economy of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. Development policy faces the challenge of building an economy based on innovation and intellectual and social capital. It is crucial to derive benefits from the endogenous potentials of those regions which can make a significant contribution to the voivodeship’s development. Defined in this document Smart Specialisation will be the means of achieving these goals as well as the basis for innovation activities in the voivodeship. Regional Innovation Strategy for the Lubelskie Voivodeship 2020 is a significant programming document specifying the most essential grounds for the development of the region’s innovative performance. Today our common goal is to increase productivity and knowledge absorption capabilities within the region’s economy as well as the share of services and industries with high added value and potential for growth. The assumption of RIS LV 2020 is that within the next 5 years the region will observe a significant increase of innovation potential and therefore improve its international position and move up in the Regional Innovation Ranking. I am confident that this document will greatly contribute to the process of making regional development more dynamic. Its content will indicate optimal solutions to the development of innovation in the Lubelskie Voivodeship and will also provide foundation for the business and research community cooperation to shape the future of the region.

The mission of the strategy is to: (1) support the selective development model of the voivodeship based on creative innovation, (2) initiate the process of technological and non-technological transformation of endogenous development potentials, (3) lead to an increase of knowledge absorption capabilities and productivity of the economy (by 2020), and (4) diversify the economy structure and increase the share of industries and services with high added value and high growth potential in the economy (by 2030). 5 SUMMARY The selective development model of the voivodeship is based on smart specialisation understood as the development of such areas of research, development and innovation activity which strengthen endogenous development potentials of the voivodeship. The identification of smart specialisation areas was based on a bottom up entrepreneurial discovery process, promoted by the European Commission, with a thorough self-assessment of economic, scientific, technological, educational and institutional potential. Four areas of smart specialisation have been identified: (1) bioeconomy, (2) medicine and health, (3) information technology and automation, and (4) low-carbon emission energy production. These areas overlap, they are complementary to each other and cover these fields of business activity that are specific for the economic, scientific and technological specialisation of the voivodeship. Moreover, these areas have already gained, and may gain in the future, a competitive advantage on a national and/or international scale; they are noted for well-developed cluster initiatives and creation of sufficient critical mass able to create new paths of development for the region. The RIS LV 2020 mission is in tune with the vision of the strategy, according to which in 2020 the Lubelskie Voivodeship economy should observe a significant increase of innovation potential. As a result, the voivodeship will improve its international position in terms of innovation and will go up in the Regional Innovation Ranking. Although it will still remain in the group of weak innovators, it will go up from very weak to strong-weak innovators. In 2020 the Lubelskie Voivodeship will also be a region which: (1) effectively uses its endogenous potential, (2) creates high added value products and services , (3) is open to innovation, and (4) cooperates and links with the outside world economically and scientifically. Effective implementation of such a vision depends on the following objectives of the RIS LV 2020: • developing territorial capital, especially in the areas of smart specialisation, • strengthening the regional research and innovation system to be based on the quadruple helix that joins together all stakeholders interested in the cooperation, • incorporating the region into the national as well as international chain of innovation and cooperation network, • developing effective instruments to support innovation and competitiveness of the voivodeship economy, • stimulating dynamic advantages of the location, especially in the form of: (1) strengthening business environment institutions, (2) developing market services for business and (3) developing financial markets significant to the increase in demand for innovation from all companies, both these located in regional and supra-regional smart specialisation areas and these operating outside of these areas. 6 The following priorities identified in the RIS LV 2020 help achieve the objectives: Priority 1 Increasing the ability of business entities to create and absorb knowledge and implement innovations, particularly in areas of regional smart specialisation. Increasing the ability of entities operating in the science and research sector to create Priority 2 and commercialise knowledge in areas of regional smart specialisation. Priority 3 Strengthening business environment institutions and public administration bodies open to innovation. The priorities are coupled with the following actions to be performed in the years 2014-2020: • within the Priority 1: (1) stimulating the development of entrepreneurship, particularly technological entrepreneurship; (2) increasing the level of innovation of already operating companies; (3) improving the knowledge and skills of industrial personnel (employees and managers); (4) stimulating and developing network cooperation between business entities, and (5) developing financial engineering instruments used to adapt, to a greater extent than before, the type of financial support to the nature of innovation; • within the Priority 2: (1) increasing R&D personnel able to create and transfer knowledge for the development of smart specialisation of the region; (2) increasing efficiency of R&D infrastructure to conduct and commercialise research in the areas if smart specialisation of the region, and (3) contributing to growing importance of the Lublin science in the areas of smart specialisation at national and international level; • within the Priority 3: (1) transforming business environment institutions into regional growth centres; (2) developing efficient and open to innovation public administration bodies, and (3) promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. These courses of actions will be further: • elaborated in implementing documents to the RIS LV 2020, especially in: (1) documents attached to the Regional Operational Programme for the Lubelskie Voivodeship for the years 2014-2020, which is one of the main sources of the RIS LV 2020 funding in this period (in addition to private sector funding and national operational programmes), (2) sectoral, regional and supra-regional research agenda, and in (3) other documents adopted by the Board of the Region. The following aspects will undergo elaboration: the type, scale, scope and threshold of projects, the type of beneficiaries, the structure of repayable instruments and grants involved in each action, the project selection procedures, etc.; • successively revised and adapted
