Innovative Place-Based Triple Helix Approaches for Regional Development through Smart Specialisation Strategies 28-29 June, 2019 St Mary’s University, Waldegrave Suite, UK

From STP to Smart Specialization: What Have We Learned and Where Are We Heading Jorge Audy, TECNOPUC Science and Technological Park (PUCRS) Final Keynote Context

Transition going on…

- The future of STP will be the City - From traditional STP to Areas of Innovation Context

Science Park is an organisation managed by specialised professionals, whose main aim is to increase the wealth of its community by promoting the culture of innovation and the competitiveness of its associated businesses and knowledge-based institutions. To enable these goals to be met, a Science Park stimulates and manages the flow of knowledge and technology amongst universities, R&D institutions, companies and markets; it facilitates the creation and growth of innovation-based companies through incubation and spin-off processes; and provides other value-added services together with high quality space and facilities. We are talking about specific located projects at Triple Helix Approach Context

Areas of Innovation are places designed and curated to attract entrepreneurial-minded people, skilled talent, knowledge-intensive businesses and investments, by developing and combining a set of infrastructural, institutional, scientific, technological, educational and social assets, together with value added services, thus enhancing sustainable economic development and prosperity with and for the community. Context

There are many different models of areas of innovation – spanning from the broader city or region model with innovation activities in different locations within the area, to more place-specific projects like innovation districts, knowledge quarters, science parks, innovation hubs and the like. As a common feature they all have a management team tasked to execute a strategy conducive to growing innovation activity in the area.

We are talking about cities and regions, at Smart Specialization and Quadruple Helix approach! Context

From Triple do Quadruple Helix Innovation Environments involve two dimensions: Areas of Innovation Context (name internationally adopted by the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation - IASP) and Mechanisms for the Generation of Business. In , the name Innovation Ecosystem was also adopted as a synonym for Areas of Innovation.

Each of these dimensions has different Mechanisms for the Generation of Business that operate with a high degree of interaction.

Therefore, Science and Technology Parks are one of the possible types of Areas of Innovation and Incubators and Accelerators are some of the types of Mechanisms for the Generation of Business. Context A new approach

Central aspect of AIs is related to the hybrid use of space, often with urban interventions, involving:

ENVIRONMENTS to live, have fun and work; 1 COEXISTENCE between business and people; 2 PRACTICE of the cross-fertilization concept; and 3 A DIMENSION of intelligent life in urban areas, with the support of technology and innovation at people’s service. 4 Context

PARKS ARE NOT IN THE CITIES ANYMORE, THEY ARE THE CITIES. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IS NOT WHERE (PHYSICAL SPACE) BUT WHAT WE DO. Case Study

LESSONS LEARNED Lessons Learned

The only way is using a learning by doing process

Many experiences can provide new insights - Barcelona, Lisbon, Silicon Valley, …

But any specific model will not be effective (its about cultural issues) - just because the social and economic realities are different from each place Lessons Learned

As a University Helix driven process we see several aspects related:

- University strategy must support this role (society transformation) - Engage humanities and social science researchers in this process - Chance the TTO approach to KTO approach - From entrepreneurial university (Clark) to social responsible entrepreneurial university (Gumport) Lessons Learned Define a flexible methodology is important (that respect cultural issues)

- Pact of Innovation, Josep Pique, Technova STP, Barcelona, applied in Medellin, Colombia and Santa Catarina, Brasil

Achievement of societal goals can not be possible using only the triple helix approach

- is necessary the quadruple helix and smart specialization approaches and new ones, its about collaboration and synergy among universities, industry, government and society in order to create together a vision of future and implement this vision. Lessons Learned

Challenges to be overcome in order to be our key success factor (in our experience in Porto Alegre so far)

1. People (Talent) 2. Vision (share vision of future) 3. Leadership 4. Strategy (innovation as a strategy to development) 5. Culture (change mental models) Lessons Learned

Challenges to be overcome in order to be our key success factor (in our experience in Porto Alegre so far)

6. Collaboration (to create together) 7. Creativity 8. Courage (to take risk) 9. Risk (accept the risk and its consequences, learn from failures) 10. Ecosystem (approach) Currently, Science and Technology Parks can be considered as Final Remarks one type of AI, along with new models and approaches, such as Smart Cities, Innovation Districts, Innovation Communities and Clusters, among others.

In Brazil, more recent approaches are adopting the Innovation Ecosystem concept as equivalent to (synonym of) Areas of Innovation. This concept aims to establish a parallel with biology and natural ecosystems, where life creates itself, adapts and evolves with intense interaction and synergy.

Regardless of the model adopted, the development of an AI needs a number of factors to succeed in the economic, social and urban transformation process in which it operates.

The ecosystem metaphor is very appropriate as it also refers to the model view of a rainforest, an exuberant, unpredictable, The Rainforest model, by Victor Hwang and Greg Horowitt, is one of the references to the Innovation Ecosystem concept diverse ecosystem with no absolute control and constantly changing and evolving. They are non-uniform environments, unequal by definition, highly collaborative and flexible. The comparison of the rainforest with an innovative environment, favorable for the development of new technologies, Lessons Learned innovations and attraction of talented people with new ideas and capital, where competences have room to develop, is an appropriate metaphor.

This virtuous circle generates largescale systemic innovation processes with a high economic and social impact.

The Innovation Ecosystems provide the conditions for the flourishing of innovation in products (typical of the 1970s and 1980s), business models (common in the 1990s and 2000) or cultural innovation, which has been changing the lifestyle of our society in recent years. These revolutions are taking place in Innovation Ecosystems around the world and are constantly evolving, as they are living organisms in continuous growth, adaptation and development. We are trying to do so in Brazil.

The need to create an innovation ecology that includes the players of the ecosystems - universities, businesses, governments and people (society) – is the same to all variants of the environments described in this presentation Innovative Place-Based Triple Helix Approaches for Regional Development through Smart Specialisation Strategies 28-29 June, 2019 St Mary’s University, Waldegrave Suite, UK
