20. Identified need for
comprehensive ecosystem development approach
1. Adoption of systemic ecosystem-level master plans (SH, RTP)
- combination of infrastructure and innovation ecosystem elements
- shared vision, joint policies and common targets
2. Use of empowered core hub organizations (FR, UK, SK)
- one party should take over the ecosystem-level orchestration
- facilitating, building value networks and channeling resources
3. Management of advanced public-private partnerships (FR, SV, UK)
- mechanisms for regional networking and communication
- creation of business development platforms
4. Extensions of strategic alliances (SV, CH, FR)
- complementing talent and resources within value networks
- scale-up with strategic partnerships (domestic and global)
