The s3-4alpclusters project seeks to enhance smart industrial transitions in the Alpine regions by promoting innovation through cluster initiatives and fostering interregional cooperation. It introduces the s3-innovation model, which provides tools and methods for identifying and developing transformative activities aimed at significantly changing existing industries. The project's framework includes stages for generating evidence, assessing needs, developing actions, and monitoring implementation to drive regional development and create jobs in innovative sectors.

S3-4AlpClusters is cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space Programme Copyright ©S3-4AlpClusters Smart Specialisation with SmartClusters S3-4AlpClusters S3-INNOVATIONMODEL TRANSFORMATIVE ACTIVITIES FOR REGIONALDEVELOPMENT The S3-4AlpClusters project aims at enhancing smart industrial transition in the regions of the Alpine Space by facilitating innovation through cluster initiatives and initiating interregional cooperation. Recent experiences show that the identification and development of transformative activities - i.e. the innovation capacities and actions that have the potential to lead to structural change - remain a significant challenge in the practical implementation of Smart Specialization Strategies (S3). The S3-Innovation Model introduces a systematic process for the identification and development of transformative activities. It offers a set of tools for cluster initiatives and regions to explore capacities and opportunities for transformation and to develop actions to create critical mass in innovative new fields. The involvement of clusters in the process is beneficial, since they embrace relevant actors of the innovation process and provide important information about needs, opportunities and ongoing transformations. Transformative Activities can be understood as an accumulation of innovation capacities and actions of a group of actors targeting related (technical, market or industrial) areas and having the potential to significantly transform existing industries. They provide huge potential for regions to develop and ultimately to create jobs in innovative new fields with high growth potential. HOW TO READ THESCHEME ABOVE Every stage of the S3-Innovation Model (in the middle) includes one or more steps in the relative Process and Tools path. The steps marked by an asterisk are specifically intended for the cross-regional identification and development oftransformative activities.

This includes an assessmentof existing critical mass and detecting and specifying needsfor cross-regionalcooperation. Ifnecessary, cross-regionalEntrepreneurial Discovery Workshops (cEDW)then propose a methodologyallowing to identify complementary competences and needs from severalregions and to identify transformativeactivitiesthat can be developedcross-regionally. DEVELOPMENT OFTRANSFORMATIVEACTIVITIES Action Development Workshops (ADW) allow workingoutconcreteactions-such asR&Dprojects,networking,cooperation schemesordevelopmentof criticalskills– in order to gain critical massfor the identified transformativeactivities, both regionally and cross-regionally(cADW). TheS3-InnovationModel specifically supports cross-regionalaction develop- ment through the Alpine Cluster Innovation Express(ACIE).This interregio- nal cooperation scheme aims at synchronizing existing funds from several regions who intend to supportthe development of the sametransformative activities.
