Not enough options for targetting
No (or very few) obvious choices
What about those who are excluded?
What if we make the wrong choice?
Surely horizontal is better?
Where is the big and immediate impact?
Smart Spec challenge
7. SmartSpec
State (or external agent) is a crucial actor
Build capacity and leadership skills
Strong stable (political) commitment required
Build trust, flexibility and relations
Stay close to policy research and learning
Success is a state of mind – not a document or a strategy
Foundations…
8. SmartSpec
Trust your regions
Don’t focus only on science and technology or on the
role of universities
Many forms of innovation
Innovation for what? What is important to you?
What assets do you wish to promote?
