Blue growth is the European Union's long-term strategy to support sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors. It aims to create jobs and economic growth through developing marine knowledge, maritime spatial planning, and integrated maritime surveillance. Smart specialization is an approach for regions to develop strategic priorities and policies to maximize knowledge-based development potential in any sector. The Smart Blue Regions project seeks to enhance blue growth opportunities by increasing regions' capacity to implement smart specialization strategies for blue economy sectors and identifying opportunities for transnational cooperation across the Baltic Sea Region.

5. marine knowledge to improve access to
information about the sea;
maritime spatial planning to ensure an efficient
and sustainable management of activities at sea;
integrated maritime surveillance to give
authorities a better picture of what is happening
at sea.

8. Smart specialisation is a strategic approach to economic
development through targeted support to Research and
Innovation (R&I).
More generally, smart specialisation involves a process
of developing a vision, identifying competitive
advantage, setting strategic priorities and making use of
smart policies to maximise the knowledge-based
development potential of any region, strong or weak,
high-tech or low-tech.

9. Smart Blue Regions seeks to enhance blue growth
opportunities based on increased capacity of BSR regions
to implement blue smart specialization strategies (RIS3).
Partner regions and their R&I actors will develop
implementation schemes for RIS3, make blue growth
visible via quantitative indicators, optimise their policy mix
for blue growth, explore its cross-sectoral potential and
identify smart transnational cooperation opportunities.

The scores were then tabulated, converted into numerical scores and aggregated over the sea basin. A short list of MEAs with the most future potential across the sea basin was derived and ranked according to the scope of their potential as follows:
The high potential MEAs (the red bars in Figure 3) have an aggregated indicator score between 24-36 (from a potential range of -48 to 48).
The medium potential MEAs (the turquoise bars in Figure 3) have an aggregated indicator score between 12-24 (from a potential range of -48 to 48).
Smart specialisation is a strategic approach to economic development through targeted support to Research and Innovation (R&I). It will be the basis for European Structural and Investment Fund interventions in R&I as part of the current Regional and Cohesion Policy's contribution to the Europe 2020 jobs and growth agenda.
More generally, smart specialisation involves a process of developing a vision, identifying competitive advantage, setting strategic priorities and making use of smart policies to maximise the knowledge-based development potential of any region, strong or weak, high-tech or low-tech.
This site offers a unique resource and platform for regional development policy-makers and professionals developing such strategies as well as their partners from business, academia and the civil society.
1) INCREASED OPERATIONAL CAPACITY OF REGIONS TO IMPLEMENT BLUE GROWTH RIS3:
At the time of the project start in early 2016, all RIS3 will have been completed and approved by the EC, thus the vision for the region is sketched and the priorities are identified. RIS3 capacity building for regional authorities in the project will therefore focus on increasing administrative capacity in steering the implementation process for blue growth including elaboration and integration of evaluation and monitoring mechanisms.
2) OPTIMISED POLICY MIX FOR BLUE GROWTH SMART SPECIALISATION BY IMPLEMENTING INNOVATIVE MEASURES:
RIS3 are strategies. Implementing them requires the elaboration of concrete R&I actions fostering blue growth. The participating regions aim to optimise their own set of actions by integrating (in a participatory approach involving end beneficiaries) good practice cases from other regions and/or sectors. As such they aim for the best feasible policy mix for their own specific blue growth areas.
3) IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF MACRO-REGIONAL SYNERGIES AND TRANSNATIONAL COOPERATION
A 3rd key result of the project will be the initiation of interregional cooperation ventures based on identified macro-regional synergies and complementarities, with a particular focus on developing critical mass and integrated value chains. This will require the active involvement of end beneficiaries and stakeholders as well as an improved visibility of blue growth (both on the micro- and the macro-regional level).
