Evaluation of Regional Analysis for decision makers of local government
3rd - 4th May 2010
Introduction and objectives
Regional innovation potentials are generally the starting point for a targeted support of players in the context of R&D / Innovations. It is typically done by intermediates on behalf of regional administrations and ministries. Thereby it is necessary:
• To identify and assess the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and risks of the regions / players
• To elaborate recommended courses of action which go conform to policies
• To adapt measures and instruments for a sustainable strengthening of relevant players from research, industry and politics of the region
Potential future measures for a regional support of R&D / Innovation in Indonesia should consider already existing Indonesian concentrations in specific technological or industrial fields with innovation potential. In the starting phase, an innovation potential could be derived from the existence of several regional players and in particular important players (e.g. big enterprises and R&D institutions) as well as existing innovation instruments (e.g. technology incubators). These kind of groups should systematically be identified and analysed as potential pilot sites. In the process, future target groups from research, industry and politics should actively be embedded in form of interviews, workshops etc.
The analysis phase should give a detailed overview about which specific demand of the respective site need to be met by the innovative Business Technology Centers services. A main element in this context is the accomplishment of a detailed SWOT analysis (Strength-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Risks). Criteria as the regional integration, innovation potential, proximity to R&D institutions, industrial structure, project experiences as well as the availability of incubators, other supportive measures, finance options, R&D infrastructure, skilled staff etc have to be analysed in detail.
Also important for a future commercialisation of the R&D results is the existence of preferably complete value added chains within the groups. Furthermore the willingness and motivation of players to get involved into innovative measures in the frame of WTZ is a key success factor.
Focus
- regional innovation systems - key actors and success factors
- methodology and indicators of RIPA
- case studies of RIPA
- practical implementation of RIPA
- design of regional innovation master plan
Module 2 will thereby focus on practical examples in Indonesia. Concrete RIPA addressing specific regions in Indonesia will be carried out
