Eco-innovation Smart businesses

Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) help regions trigger the innovation and growth needed to harness globalisation. S3-4AlpClusters tackles the two main issues that hinder S3 implementation: the knowledge gap on how clusters can help identify and develop transformative activities (smart IT services, capacity building, etc.) and the need of a joint cross-regional effort to increase the odds of success. Our S3-Innovation Model provides an interregional cooperation scheme, tools that help detect challenges, select transformative activities, implement them and measure their impact on regional economy. We are currently testing this model in 25 pilot clusters and by 2019 we will set up a training kit for cluster managers and regions.

S3-4AlpClusters work helps reach the EUSALP Action Group 2 (AG2) goal to develop new value chains by linking different, strategic sectors. When the project ends, we will work with EUSALP to let all Alpine regions benefit from our findings. Also, with EUSALP AG2 support, our interregional cooperation scheme ACIE (Alpine Cluster Innovation Express) could be used extensively through the Alpine Space and our S3-Innovation Model could become a benchmark at a larger European level (European Commission / European Parliament) thus contributing to the next period of EU Cohesion Policy.

The EUSALP AG2 identifies key economic sectors and implements macro-regional measures whose goal is to provide a positive framework for the development of SMEs and for the sustainable exploitation of Alpine specific resources. To do so, we develop trans-sector value chains and foster policy harmonisation.

S3 are one of the levers used to foster innovation processes and spark entrepreneurship in various regions across Europe. In a region like ours, where small to mid-sized companies often have a limited degree of innovation and where transnational, cluster-based cooperation is not yet widespread, S3-4AlpClusters work to enhance S3 development and implementation is particularly relevant. Indeed, this project makes important contributions to the AG2 goal to increase inter-clustering activities: the new S3-Innovation Model, its tools and knowledge base can help us boost the economic potential of strategic sectors like bioeconomy, wood, health and tourism; its transnational approach will provide inspiration to decision-makers of other Alpine areas, thus fostering the diffusion of much needed cross-regional cluster-based cooperation.

CESBA Alps is one of the projects developed by the CESBA Network, an association that promotes a sustainably built environment by using common key performance indicators and, at the same time, by setting up systems that account for regional needs and peculiarities.

The EUSALP Action Group 9 (AG9) has chosen the CESBA methodology to foster the harmonisation of sustainability assessment systems, one of the goals of the EUSALP action plan. We have adapted this methodology, first set up for individual buildings, to appraise the sustainability of whole territories.

The cooperation with AG9 is very important for CESBA Alps. On the one hand it validates the CESBA approach, on the other it provides opportunities to disseminate our results to policy-makers as well as to regions and stakeholders outside the CESBA partnership. In this respect, we look forward to the EUSALP annual Conference about Energy Transition in the Alps. Besides being an excellent networking occasion, the conference will give us a chance to promote our territory sustainability rating system, present our guidelines for policy implementation and introduce the CESBA Alps policy paper addressed to European institutions and EUSALP.

Alpine Space

In the Alpine Space, more than 60 building rating systems are currently in use, making sustainability assessments difficult to compare. To make certifications more effective and transparent, the EUSALP action plan encourages the creation of “harmonised, affordable and operational assessment tools to be used by public authorities in policies targeted to promote and boost sustainable and low-carbon buildings in the Alpine region“. CESBA has given an important contribution to the definition of common indicators and to the development of a methodology to compare energy certification schemes.

Cooperation with Alpine Space projects is a cornerstone for EUSALP AG9. At our annual Energy Conference we collect knowledge based on project evidence, we foster the exchange amongst projects and we develop a set of common recommendations that can support the implementation of the EUSALP. The data, examples and guidelines generated by projects co-financed through the Alpine Space programme help policy-makers develop innovative, efficient policies to reach the objectives assigned to the strategy.

With EUSALP for greener landscapes around Alpine cities

Metropolitan areas are a part of the EUSALP territory so a joint Alpine policy is needed even for the ecology-related domains, usually associated with rural areas. On one hand, Green Infrastructure is paramount for densely populated areas as it provides clean air, fresh water and quality living environment. On the other hand, the perception of the connectivity and the support for integrated planning of urban and rural areas cannot be achieved without raising people’s awareness in cities. LOS_DAMA! activities perfectly complement AG7 initiatives, by addressing a specific challenge for metropolitan territories and implementing the necessary multilevel governance. Collaboration between AG7 and LOS_DAMA! partners will continue beyond 2019. In 2017, at the first EUSALP conference of environment ministers, we helped launch the LOS_DAMA! Network of Cities and Metropolitan Regions for Green Infrastructure. We provide the network with a permanent cooperation structure and close collaboration with the regional and national levels, whereas cities set up concrete actions. AG7 also works as a catalyst for networking opportunities, which often result in new project ideas.

Alpine Space

LOS_DAMA! strives for enhanced peri-urban landscapes in Alpine metropolitan areas. They are important for recreation, climate adaptation and much more, but challenged by settlement development and growing traffic volume. As Green Infrastructures they have to be strategically planned and developed. Together with EUSALP Action Group 7 (AG7) we are committed to their development in all areas of the Alpine region. Together, we show that the contradiction between urban and rural can be overcome. To continue this endeavour after the project ends, we launched the LOS_DAMA! Network of Cities and Metropolitan Authorities for Green Infrastructure. During the 2017 Green Infrastructure conference of environment ministers of the states and regions initiated by AG7, the founding memorandum was signed by the first cities and metropolitan authorities. Up to now, the network has nine members, with more to come. There are two next steps of cooperation with AG7. First, we are identifying Green Infrastructure initiatives to be developed into transnational projects. Second, we work together to make Green Infrastructure a topic at the EUSALP 2018 forum in Innsbruck.

Alpine Space Alpine Space

GoApply tackles multi-level and cross-sector climate adaptation challenges by mapping, analysing and comparing relevant governance systems of four Alpine countries. As EUSALP Action Group 8 (AG8) focuses on natural hazard risk management and climate change adaptation, establishing ties with its co-leaders was a natural step for GoApply, which we made at the very start of project development. Some AG8 members even became involved in the development of the outputs of GoApply.

This collaboration lets us fill geographical gaps in terms of participating countries, increases the relevance of our results and enables us to reach out to key target groups from the disaster risk reduction community. We believe that feeding project results into the AG8 activities is a good way of ensuring that they are taken up and worked with by responsible decision-makers. Cooperating with a EUSALP AG requires increased coordination efforts by the project lead partner but, as our experience with AG8 shows, it is more than worth the effort. Cooperation can create true added value and co-benefits for both sides and for shared concerns, especially if it is based on the principle of reciprocity.

Wolfgang Lexer GoApply project manager

Working with EUSALP, a worthwhile effort to better disseminate results

The AG8 works to improve risk management and climate change adaptation in the Alps. We have already conducted comprehensive stocktaking and evaluation of risk governance structures, tools and processes in the EUSALP regions. The GoApply project will provide a similar knowledge base, good practice examples and enhancement options about climate change adaptation. This will help achieve better coordination, governance and increased coherence in tackling the interconnections of these policy fields, as is the case when the foreseeable impacts of climate-driven natural hazards can be reduced by appropriate adaptive policies.

AG8 work plan and GoApply project development took place in close mutual consideration. Entering into collaboration as early as possible proved to be a very wise choice as it allowed us to work in parallel and pool our results. The inputs of GoApply and the jointly produced results will strongly contribute to achieving three AG8 objectives: paving the ground for shared and improved adaptation policies and governance approaches; supporting synergies between risk management and climate change adaptation; and enhancing the contents of the online portal “CAPA – Climate Adaptation Platforms for the Alps”.
