BSR InnoReg
BSR InnoReg - Strengthening Innovation Governance in Baltic Nonmetropolitan Regions through Transnational Cooperation
Summarized description
Economic and demographic development in Baltic nonmetropolitan regions is increasingly weak compared to the metropolitan regions. In order to gain balanced regional development, it is important to narrow the gap and support economic and innovation performance in nonmetropolitan regions.
BSR InnoReg utilizes the results of VBN InnoReg project (2006–2007) whose main outcome was a common understanding of regional innovation system dynamics and challenges as well as a joint development vision for Baltic nonmetropolitan regions. Based on VBN InnoReg results, the capability of the innovation systems to secure availability of skilled work force and support the creation and reform of SMEs are regarded as the main challenges among Baltic nonmetropolitan regions.
To address these challenges and to operationalize the joint development vision, BSR InnoReg aims at improving innovation governance and enhancing attractive and complementary innovation support environments in Baltic nonmetropolitan regions.
During the project, longterm competence needs of development organizations in the partner
regions are identified, which provides basis for regional development workshops and transnational training on selected key themes, such as global networking and financing tools. New innovation support instruments concerning e.g. userdriven innovation, startup financing and utilization of students in innovation processes will be developed jointly, tested in the partner regions and disseminated as a practical toolkit for the use of Baltic nonmetropolitan
regions. Furthermore, based on experiences of partners and results of project activities, a Memorandum of Understanding on efficient innovation governance in Baltic nonmetropolitan
regions with recommendations and practical information on BSR innovation potential and shared challenges will be produced. The MoU will be signed by the involved decisionmakers
ensuring commitment of the participating regions to elaborate their innovation policies according to the shared development view.
The project improves the capacities of decisionmakers and development organizations of the
partner regions for identifying future challenges and managing of risks in decisionmaking
as well as for developing coherent innovation support services for SMEs. The project strengthens the role and commitment of the decisionmakers of Baltic nonmetropolitan
regions in fostering the competitiveness of the BSR and increases recognition of the BSR as an attractive and dynamic region in the EU.

6th extracurricular course of lectures: Ecological Entrepreneurship 2010
Project description
Entrepreneurship in an ecological context can be applied to small businesses, grass-roots organizations, non-profits, foundations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and local, regional, national, and international government. The opportunities that ecological entrepreneurs seek to exploit can be marginal improvements of the way things are currently done, but achieving true community sustainability will require more paradigmatic shifts in:
- technology and its use,
- organizational management,
- relationships with people: employees, suppliers, clients,
- customer "service",
- responsibilities toward human and non-human communities,
- collaboration between organizations, both within the same sector (e.g. firm-to-firm) and across sectors (e.g. non-profits and firms, non-profits and government),
- achieving community sustainability [social entrepreneurship].
