The greatest added value will be achieved if priority is given to sectors where the BSR is or has the potential to become particularly strong. The potential for growth and new jobs should be explored in many sectors, including the marine and maritime sector, and in particular technologies for marine energy and blue biotechnology. To further explore regional strengths, the cluster approach might be appropriate. Furthermore, by applying the smart specialisation concept, combining strengths, competences, R&D and players in the whole BSR in a smart way, there are good opportunities for the BSR to become a globally leading innovation player in several specific fields. This will make the BSR attractive as a partner for cooperation with other strong innovative regions in the world and it will support companies in the BSR to increase their global competitiveness. For SMEs in particular, BSR as a home market will be an important step in becoming active on the global market. The division between more established R&D institutions on the northern and western shores vs. newly established or reformed institutions on the eastern and south-eastern shores of the Baltic Sea is still very present, despite recent high growth in the eastern parts. This is also reflected in the latest Innovation Union Scoreboard 2011. The BSR includes some of the innovation top-performers in Europe, and others that are lagging behind. To draw the full benefits from the regions innovation potential, a more coherent approach is needed, based on cooperation and trust. Such a focus on innovation has the added advantage of developing the BSR’s economy away from a traditional high-footprint industrial focus towards more sustainable profit-making sectors. It is also important to make full use of the opportunities to cooperate within the framework of the European Research Area (ERA). This priority area is closely linked to priority are ‘SME’. Targets and indicatorsA comprehensive system for the design, the monitoring and the follow-up of indicators and targets will be set up in 2013, under the responsibility of the priority area coordinators. The still missing targets and deadline, baseline, and statistics/information sources related to the below indicators will be defined.
