Expert Discussion
‘Smart Specialization’ for Regions: How to Define and Move towards It

Summary

Toughening competition in international markets due to acceleration of technological progress is a crucial contemporary challenge for national and regional economies.
Russia’s Spatial Development Strategy until 2025 sets out perspective economic specializations for all federal subjects based on their competitive advantage.
‘Smart Specialization’ is a new approach that will clarify and prioritize perspective economic specializations with a focus on a region’s scientific and technological capabilities, the effectiveness of its economic specialization and initiatives of the business community.
Topics to be discussed:
- ‘Smart Specialization’ – the Russian know-how or an international trend?
- What is the difference between the ‘Smart Specialization’ approach and the previous options for identifying sectoral priorities of a region?
- What are the ‘Smart Specialization’ tools for prioritizing economic sectors of the region?
- How can this approach change the system of state support measures for regional economies?
