Project summary REGIONAL SUPPORT TO ENGAGE RURAL ECONOMY SMES IN INNOVATION Rural economy SMEs face challenges in adopting innovation to increase their competitiveness. Regional policies need to correspondingly support the diffusion of innovative solutions and new business models that will lead to increases in productivity and access to new markets. INNOGROW regions are called to play an important role in supporting the modernisation of their existing rural SMEs and the proliferation of innovative start-ups.   PROJECT OBJECTIVE INNOGROW brings together 9 partners from 8 countries, involving the managing authorities & regional bodies influencing regional and national policy instruments, to exchange experiences & practices, and to improve their capacity on implementing policies that promote the adoption of technology and business model innovations by rural economy SMEs, to boost their competitiveness.   EXPECTED CHANGES - Enhanced innovation support services for over 5% of rural economy SMEs in partners’ regions. - Improved horizontal & vertical cooperation among SMEs in rural areas for products commercialisation. - Increased capacity of 200 staff of public administrations to effectively implement policies, stimulating innovation adoption by rural economy SMEs. - 10+Meuros of investments unlocked to promote innovative technologies & new business models.   MAIN OUTPUTS & BENEFITS 3 interregional workshops, 2 study visits & 1 EU regions summit to promote experiences exchanges of partners and stakeholders. 8 action plans to improve the addressed policy instruments, benefiting managing authorities and beneficiaries. 14 policy briefs to transfer INNOGROW lessons learnt to public authorities beyond the partnership. An online benchmarking tool for all EU territorial administrations, to facilitate optimisation of policy-making in the field of rural economy SMEs competiveness. 5 thematic studies & analyses on practices and measures that improve rural economy SMEs competitiveness.  €1,497,386.00 from 1 Apr 2016 to 31 Mar 2021 Topic SME competitiveness Partnership Lead Partner Partner What policy instruments does the project address? Thessaly Regional Operational Programme (ROP) 2014-2020 MAIN FEATURES The ROP of Thessaly covers 10 thematic objectives. The 3rd objective focuses on SMEs competitiveness. Investment priorities: 3(a) promoting entrepreneurship, in particular by facilitating the economic exploitation of new ideas and fostering the creation of new firms; 3(c) supporting the creation & extension of advanced capacities for product & service development; 3(d) supporting the capacity of SMEs to grow in regional, national and international markets, and to engage in innovation processes. Most Thessalian SMEs operate in the agro-food sector. As a result, a number of interventions under TO3 are covered by EAFRD and Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship & Innovation OP. Still, the ROP of Thessaly recognises that measures to boost innovation for rural economy SMEs is a priority of developmental nature, where ERDF resources need to be directed. Accordingly, the ROP dedicates ERDF resources to actions for all SMEs of the sectors identified in RIS3, including SMEs of agro-food sector.   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT SMEs in Thessaly are facing viability challenges, not only due to the outbreak of the financial crisis, but also due to the low integration of R&D results. To this end, the region of Thessaly acknowledges the need to develop innovation support services, so that SMEs can exploit new technologies and models to develop innovative products and access new markets. The ROP lacks such specific measures, which calls for improvement by the managing authority.   Which partners are working on this? Region of Thessaly Regional Operational Programme Lombardia 2014-2020 - ERDF MAIN FEATURES ROP of Lombardia has a clear focus: boost innovation in the areas of competitive advantage, such as agribusiness, including improvements on the competitiveness of the regional economy by supporting the capacity of SMEs. Specifically, the 3rd priority axis prescribes measures to promote the competiveness of SMEs operating in agribusiness. The most relevant to INNOGROW are listed under Investment Priorities 3b and 3d: - Develop regional advisory services - Support innovation in organisational and management models of regional SMEs - Improving access to credit, business financing and risk management for start-ups operating in agriculture - Promote the internationalisation and attractiveness of regional SMEs - Support the networking of regional SMEs to increase competiveness   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT Regione Lombardia has identified the following areas to improve: - The monitoring, assessment, and benchmarking of regional rural economy SMEs' innovation performance have not been addressed, making difficult the evaluation of the impact of the policy instrument. - The policy instrument does not elaborate on measures to address structural weaknesses in terms of supporting SMEs (e.g. development of innovation-centred advisory services).  Which partners are working on this? Lombardy Foundation for the Environment, FLA Latvian Operational Programme “Growth and Employment” (OPGE) MAIN FEATURES In Latvia there is a single multi-fund operational programme aiming at achieving key national development priorities at regional and national level. OPGE provides significant support to economic growth and employment, with a particular focus on the competitiveness of Latvia's economy. 7.11% of OPGE resources are allocated to supporting the competitiveness and innovation of enterprises (priority axis 3), with emphasis on the specialisation areas depicted in RIS3, including organic and functional food. Investment priority 3.2: Supporting the capacity of rural economy SMEs to engage in regional, national & international markets and innovation processes. Specific objective 3.2.1: increase export percentage of high value added products. Relevant measures: support for the introduction of rural economy SMEs in foreign markets, cooperation on local & international level, merger into clusters to increase innovation development & integration.   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT Although modern equipment has been introduced, and advanced techniques for using fertilisers and chemicals are applied by the Latvian rural economy enterprises, this applies only to the large enterprises in the field, as depicted in national statistics. Thus, there is a need to improve OPGE to better involve small & medium enterprises to clusters & new business models, to ensure adequate production of goods of necessary volume to access new markets.  Which partners are working on this? Zemgale planning region Bulgarian Operational Programme “Innovations and Competitiveness” 2014-2020 (OPIC) MAIN FEATURES In Bulgaria, regional development is tackled by national operational programmes. OPIC aims at improving SMEs competitiveness of all sectors at local, regional and national level. OPIC’s priority axis 2 focuses on Entrepreneurship & capacity for growth of SMEs: Specific objective "Strengthening productivity and export potential of Bulgarian SMEs" Relevant measures: a) Support the growth of enterprises by promoting the use of ICT and services. b) Support the implementation of activities and services that benefit business development and SMEs’ export opportunities.   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT As acknowledged by the beneficiaries of OPIC, the impact of OPIC measures on strengthening productivity and export potential of rural economy SMEs is limited compared to other sectors. There are two reasons for the limited participation of rural economy SMEs in OPIC’s calls: a) Rural economy SMEs have less capacity in developing and submitting proposals, and thus standardised forms are needed to be developed for the relevant projects’ proposals. b) SMEs established in municipalities that are listed as rural can apply to the rural development programme. However, rural economy SMEs established in municipalities such as Stara Zagora or Kazanlak, - not listed as rural, although most of SMEs are rural economy SMEs - could apply for funding only under OPIC. There is a need to improve the implementation of OPIC to better fit with the needs of rural economy SMEs.  Which partners are working on this? Stara Zagora Regional Economic Development Agency Czech Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovations for Competitiveness 2014-2020 (OPEIC) MAIN FEATURES The national OPEIC aims at achieving a competitive & sustainable economy at both national and regional level, based on knowledge and innovation, since there are no regional operational programmes in Czech Republic. OPEIC focuses on enhancing innovation and competitiveness of enterprises to increase their added value, stimulate growth and improve the performance of research & innovation systems. Priority axis 2 refers to the development of business & competitiveness of SMEs. Relevant measures include: - support for the implementation of business plans for start-up companies implementing lower-level innovations. - consulting services for start-up provided by business incubators, science and technology parks, innovation centres. - services for SMEs focused on international competitiveness, e.g. consulting services for strategic and innovation management, new development opportunities in foreign markets. REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT OPEIC, as a national operational programme, does not fully address the challenges faced by SMEs in various regions & sectors as concerns the diffusion and adoption of innovation. INNOGROW will address the challenge of transferring R&D results into the rural economy, promoting collaborations between rural economy SMEs and universities, lifting this barrier in the Pardubice region. Receiving a regional perspective on OPEIC implementation will stimulate improvements to benefit all other regions in Czech Republic facing same challenges.   Which partners are working on this? Regional Development Agency of the Pardubice Region Regional Operational Programme (ROP) – Molise Region 2014-2020 MAIN FEATURES The ROP of Molise aims to increase SMEs competitiveness & strengthen research & innovation. The programme focuses on nine main priorities. 31% of total ERDF resources are allocated to the 3rd priority “Promote competitiveness of the productive system”, with a particular focus on the sectors identified in RIS3 of Molise region, including agribusiness. Molise is one of the Italy’s most rural regions. In the context of INNOGROW, the relevant investment priority (3.d) is supporting the capacity of rural economy SMEs to grow in regional, national and international markets & to engage in innovation processes. The programme’s specific objective 3.4 is to improve access to finance, corporate finance & risk management for rural economy SMEs. The actions under this objective support investments for start-ups operating in Molise, with venture capital funds. Support will be provided at pre-seed, seed and early stage phases & will be focused on the reorientation of the production system, integrating innovative methods.   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT Rural economy SMEs, especially start-ups, need to exploit new technologies fast to enter new markets and become dominant. Bureaucracy of procedures and low speed of evaluation and funding processes are the main issues faced by rural economy SMEs in Molise region. Therefore, project proposals’ evaluation and funding procedures under specific objective 3.4 have to be improved to achieve a further boost of the local rural economy.   Which partners are working on this? Chamber of Commerce of Molise Slovenian Industrial Policy 2014-2020 (SIP) MAIN FEATURES In Slovenia, regional development and growth is addressed by national policy instruments instead of regional operational programmes. To this end, SIP focuses on improving Slovenian SMEs competitiveness at regional level. INNOGROW will address 3 measures of SIP: No45 Supporting non-technological innovation to achieve value (IPRs, process & organisational innovation, new business models for internationalisation of companies). No47 Promoting R&D activities and investments in priority technology and industrial areas in accordance with smart specialisation. Promoting connections between companies, research & consultancy organisations (horizontal & vertical integration covering the entire value chain, to accelerate commercialisation of new products). No50 Promoting business’ internationalisation. Connecting companies for joint entry to foreign markets, consulting on opportunities in foreign markets, international business networking.   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT SIP, as a national operational programme, does not adequately address the challenges faced by SMEs in various regions and sectors. INNOGROW will address the issue of low level of internationalisation and biotechnology adoption by rural economy SMEs, which are challenges also faced by Gorenjska region, with the aim to improve the competitiveness of rural economy SMEs in Gorenjska and report back to the managing authority so that more regions that face same challenges will be benefited by SIP.  Which partners are working on this? Regional Development Agency of Gorenjska, BSC Business Support Centre L.t.d., Kranj Territorial and Settlement Development Operational Programme of Hungary 2014-2020 (TOP) MAIN FEATURES In Hungary, there are no regional operational programmes. The national TOP aims at supporting decentralised economic development and employment based on local resources. It focuses on creating local conditions to boost economic growth and increase employment. Priority 1A – “Promotion of companies’ capabilities through the creation of a business environment with the required local conditions” supports local governments on developing local business infrastructures and services to improve SMEs competitiveness. The actions supported under priority 1A involve the development of incubators, innovation centres and logistics centres. This also deals with local market development in rural areas, where local governments support rural economy SMEs via TOP, offering advanced services on post-production management of products, such as storage, cooling, sorting and packaging.   REASONS FOR IMPROVEMENT In order to support rural economy SMEs to increase their competitiveness, a wider range of high-quality services need to be offered by local governments; neither the TOP foresees such measures, nor local initiatives have been put into place. While planning and building local business infrastructures, local governments have to first understand the needs of SMEs operating in their areas, and offer targeted services. This way, improvement to the TOP will enable a higher number of rural economy SMEs to be benefited by the policy instrument.   Which partners are working on this?

Project summary Local, regional, and national authorities are working hard to manage in an always more sustainable way their waste and implement a comprehensive and circular approach. They consider new approaches and technologies to reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover waste. They attempt to fit these into a comprehensive and circular approach.SMART WASTE wants to improve public policy instruments supporting innovation within waste management procedures. The final result? Smarter, more effective, sustainable, and cost-efficient waste management, benefiting all territorial stakeholders.But what are the results of their actions? Are these measures having a concrete impact? Could their implementation be more effective?  The SMART WASTE project is born to answer these questions. To make a long story short, the SMART WASTE project evaluates to what extent current national, regional and local policies have promoted successful innovation in waste management. It then proposes interregional solutions to address policy weaknesses. How will partners proceed? The project aims to understand the real impact that innovative policy measures have on the effectiveness and sustainability of waste management procedures. To do so, the five regional project partners chose one policy instrument to be assessed and improved. More information about the chosen policy instruments can be found below. The first step for the regional partners is to develop a shared methodology to evaluate, in close collaboration with local stakeholders, innovation in their waste management policies. Through this policy analysis, they will identify interregional Good Practices and assess them to find solutions to address potential failures in their selected policy instruments. These good practices will be applied to partners’ regional policy contexts through concrete Action Plans aimed to address not only their policies of interest but also long-term recommendations for future policies. They will then implement their Action Plans with regional or national resources and with continued stakeholder engagement. What are the expected results? Each regional partner can expect to achieve several results. First, they can expect to have improved their policy instrument in terms of smart and innovative waste. Second, thanks to continuous engagement with their stakeholders, they can expect to have increased professional capacity among these stakeholders. Finally, they can also expect to have increased the awareness of the public about the importance of innovation in waste management and of related public policies. €1,175,008.00 from 1 Aug 2019 to 31 Jul 2023 Topic Environment and resource efficiency What will SMART WASTE change? SMART WASTE territories will see more waste prevention and increased reuse, recycling and recovery of waste, with knock-on environmental and economic benefits. SMART WASTE will have a direct and concrete impact on waste management policies partners want to improve. The lessons learned throughout the first phase of the project dedicated to evaluation and creation of a two-part Action Plan will, of course, be used to improve the policies targeted in the project, and will also serve as guidance for the designing of future policies, making sure that innovation approaches are well embedded in their core. Partnership Lead Partner Partner What policy instruments does the project address? Regional Operational Programme for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2014-2020 Regional Operative Programme 2014-2020 (ROP) is strongly oriented to RTD and Innovation with a relevant percentage of the budget allocated to Axis I Innovation (34.72%) / Axis III (SME Competitiveness, 16.46%). ROP invests in low-carbon economy (Axis IV, 24.72%), but dedicates a low percentage to Axis V (Preserve the environment and promote efficient use of resources, 3.75%) mainly dedicated to natural and cultural heritage.   ROP has funded RTD projects on innovation in waste. For example, the 2017 R&D call (projects for large enterprises in collaboration with SME / research organisations) funded projects addressing innovation in environment, such as "SLUDGE 4.0" (transformation of bio-waste). ROP awards extra points in the evaluation stage to RTD projects aimed at environmental protection and sustainable use of resources. It reserves funding for new business and solutions based on green technologies.   However, improvements could be made to the ROP to ensure a greater potential to promote innovation in waste management. There is limited integration between the axes. Environment and Innovation represent two separate departments within the regional authority: this hinders integrated and coordinated development of the ROP axes. There is room for better integration between ROP and other regional strategies. ROP cannot work in a vacuum. It must link up to the regional context. We specifically refer to the Regional Plan for Waste Management and to new circular economy initiatives. Which partners are working on this? Resources Recovery Regional Agency Waste Management Plan 2014-2024: “We want to do twice as good – more focus on reuse” The Waste Management Plan (WMP) is a framework for waste-related actions targeting citizens, companies and the municipality. It is based on the government’s “Resource Strategy” reflecting the pre-2014 trend going from environment-friendly waste disposal and cleaning up, towards a zero waste and circular economy focus. Kolding strives to become the "National Champion in Circular Economy". WMP supports better/innovative waste management. The outcome should be beneficial to citizens (lower costs and improved services), companies (counselling / access) and environment (higher resource efficiency / more sustainable business). The council wants to achieve a high level of recycling: from 25 % in 2013 to 50 % by 2022. WMP expects to develop more and new innovative actions, e.g. a replicable shopping mall concept based on reused, refurbished, repaired, upcycled and recycled resources. WMP also wants to enhance cooperation between public and private actors to ensure job creation and economic growth, while educating citizens and engaging social enterprises. The circular model should also be integrated. While the 50 % recycling goal is expected to be achieved, new EU regulation calls for higher levels of waste prevention and increased volume of reuse. Kolding Municipality must move further up in the waste hierarchy. Despite Kolding Municipality's several ongoing initiatives in the area, more can be done to improve and to live up to the municipality's design-driven innovation policies.

Municipality of Kolding Lithuanian multi-fund Operational Programme (OP) for investing European Structural and Investment funds 2014-2020, 05.2.1-APVA-K-009 & 05.2.1-APVA-R-008 Axis 5 of the OP addresses "Environment, sustainable use of natural resources and adaptation to climate change". Two measures focus on waste: Development of municipal waste recycling capacity (K-009) and Development of municipal waste management infrastructure (R-008).   Beneficiaries, which are municipalities represented by municipal associations, receive funding for: 1. Purchase or modernisation of separately collected and / or recycled waste treatment facilities; 2. Public information on waste prevention / management issues. 3. Development of bio-waste collection containers / composting facilities; 4. Installation / reconstruction of container sites and purchase of containers; 5. Installation / upgrading / application for reuse of bulky waste disposal sites; 6. Creation of disposed item reuse infrastructure. For points 1 and 2, (K-009), Terms of Reference have been agreed between Ministry and stakeholders, though not officially approved and a feasibility study is running. For R-008, activities are on going, but some budget remains. This is where SMART WASTE is likely to have most impact.   There is room for improvement to the OP. Current technologies for waste are expensive. Public policy should support innovation (R&D, new processes) that not only improve performance, but also help lower costs. The costs of processing waste must be shown to be lower than the costs of incineration. Only in this way, can sustainable waste treatment become a priority measure in the long run. Which partners are working on this? Klaipeda Regional Waste Management Centre Operational programme Environment 2014-2020 (OPE), Priority Axis - Waste, Specific Objective 1 - Reducing the amount of waste going to landfills Priority Axis 2 of OP Environment 2014-20 is dedicated to Waste. Its purpose is to achieve compliance with the EU waste management hierarchy and objectives of national legislation. It funds measures for improved municipal waste management, in line with the National Waste Management Plan. It should achieve reduction of waste going to landfill through re-use, recycling and recovery. Investments focus on reducing biodegradable waste and increasing its recycling / recovery. They also support additional recycling and re-use capacity and facilitate access of the population to waste recycling and re-use centres. Investments are planned for energy recovery. Sofia is host to a pilot project for collecting, disseminating and implementing new, non-traditional waste management interventions and management approaches, as well as introduction of novel technologies and organisation of information campaigns to create a “zero waste” society. In 2018-2020, a new National waste management plan for 2021-2027 and a Strategy for implementation of the Circular economy package will be prepared. The policy instrument does not suggest specific innovative approaches or tools. Municipalities are given a wide choice of initiatives to be implemented, but a lack of expertise restricts them from trying innovative approaches. The programme could benefit from good practices on innovation in waste management, synergy between innovation and environmental axis and monitoring impact of environmental policies. Which partners are working on this? Bulgarian Association of Municipal Environmental Experts - BAMEE Recycle Service 2025 The main goal of the Apeldoorn Recycle Service 2025, in line with National objectives (VANG – from waste to resources programme), is the further reduction of the amount of residual waste.   The former waste plan reduced waste from 206 kg to 130 kg. The new plan aims for 30 kg/pp/year and a separation rate of over 75%. It will deliver more resources from paper, plastics and organic waste (currently mainly recycled in the region). These resources should help to develop new markets. The programme should engage with inhabitants, who see benefits in service provision, and with the private sector.   The current programme, and initial investments, focus on household waste. Phase 1 of the programme has been launched in 2000 households in Apeldoorn. It has a two year duration and see investments in (underground) containers, special and tailor made collections.   However, Apeldoorn is situated in a region that wants to be the most circular in Europe and a province that wants to be a waste free area. The quest now is to broaden the scope to the private area. The council needs to consider how to get businesses, retail and restaurants involved. Moreover, they wish to get inhabitants (who are at the same time consumer, users and polluters) more aware of waste prevention. Moreover, key words in the local strategy are circularity and resource efficiency. While the recently installed vice-mayors have chosen focus on the issue of circularity, a specific programme is yet to be developed. Which partners are working on this?
