Middleware the open-source way: technical superiority and business opportunit...Francois Letellier
Presentation delivered at LinuxWorld 2005, San Francisco. www.flet.fr
Middleware is the new frontier for open source and brings opportunities to contain costs, to focus on innovative engineering, to find new sources of revenue and to go to market with unique competitive advantages. With members in about 80 countries and a team of 400 committers, ObjectWeb is a fast-growing, nonprofit organization that focuses on high-quality open source middleware. For example, JOnAS from ObjectWeb was the first open source application server developed in a nonprofit way to achieve J2EE certification. The benefits of open standard compliant, production-grade middleware is made available to everyone as an alternative, or as a complement, to proprietary solutions.
In this presentation, you’ll learn how open source players come together to build an ecosystem where users find high quality software and professional services. Case studies of open-source middleware deployed in production in government, healthcare, financial institutions and more will demonstrate that, however hidden, open source middleware is now a mainstream option that you should consider too.
In the context of regional development, there is increasing interest in identifying industrial transformation processes that lead to the emergence of new clusters. This demand is further fu-elled by the concept of Smart Specialisation (S3), which concentrates its approach on transformative activities. Without doubt, traditional cluster mapping can be considered to be an important tool for the identification and monitoring of (existing) clusters but it often fails to identify new clusters that emerge as a result of industrial transformation processes. Conventional statistical approaches provide limited information about these emerging clusters. This is because they are based on statistics, which reflect the present situation or the recent past but do not provide information about the future. This paper introduces a new approach to predicting emerging clusters more effectively through the regional mapping and clustering of applied R&D activities. The methodology is based on the assumption that if a critical mass of regional actors independently invests in a same new area, with the objective of developing new products, technologies and services with high cross-sectoral innovation potential, this will likely lead to an emerging industry and the formation of a new cluster-once these products and technologies are successfully commercialised. The paper successfully verifies this approach by considering e-mobility cluster development in Germany. It also shows where traditional automotive clusters are transforming and becoming e-mobility clusters .

10 YEARS CLUSTER MANAGEMENT EXCELLENCE
IN THE DANUBE REGION
Pan-European Snapshot of the Current Status of Cluster
Management Excellence in Europe
Excellent cluster management is crucial for maximizing the benefits that can be achieved through cluster initiatives in their efforts to support industry, research, and education in the regions. In parallel, these strategic cluster activities support public authorities in their regional development efforts focusing on im-provements in competitiveness.
Over the last 10 years, Cluster Management Excellence has moved up the policy agenda: Initially, most cluster programmes within the European Union paid dedicated attention to funding cluster (management) organisations due to their important role as drivers of innovation within the clusters (or within the regional networks). Funding of such cluster management organisations mainly meant financing the corresponding staff and related infrastructure. In general, key programme objectives were to strengthen the capacities of cluster management organisations. This approach has worked fairly well for many years now. However, when Cluster Management Excellence gained increasing relevance in all political discussions, new approaches were needed to better support cluster management organisations striving for excellence
The Bio-based sector is a comparable young and
emerging industry. It provide around 1,7 million
jobs all over Europe, whereas around 500.000
are located in the Danube Region. The report has
shown that the Danube Region is on the way to
become European hot spot. As shown in Appendix
II, many of the most competitive regions are located
in there. The number of Gazelles is, compared
to other sectors like Phytopharmaceuticals or Eco-Construction, comparable low, but there is
still a good growth dynamics in that region.
There are many cluster initiatives in the field of
Eco-Construction, many of them are well established
and have a good critical mass.
The Eco-construction sector in the Danube Region
employs more than 1.2 million workers. The findings
of the previous chapters illustrate that this region
belongs, besides the Baltic and the South-western
European region (South-west France, Portugal and
Spain), to the front-runners in the Eco-construction
sector. Especially regions in Romania and Serbia,
but also in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria,
show strong economic data in different categories. More than 1250 high growth enterprises (Gazelles)
are located in the Danube Region.
There are many cluster initiatives in the field of
Eco-Construction, many of them well established
and have a good critical mass.
The previous results have shown that the Danube
Region has developed to become a hot spot
in the field of Phytopharma. Besides European
frontrunner regions, like Praha region, many
others show strong indicators in terms employ-
ment, number of enterprises, fast growing firms
(Gazelles), or terms of regional specialisation. 50 %
of all European regions with two or more Cluster
Stars are located in the Danube Region. 44 % of
all European workers in the Phytopharmaceutical
industry are employed by enterprises coming from
this region. All these figures provide good evidence for the economic strength of the Danube Region.
Table 7 (s. Appendix) provides more information
about the strongest regions in this sector. Despite
of the significant industrial agglomerations in
the Phytopharmaceutical sector in the Danube
Region shown by this report, only a small number
of cluster initiatives exist. They can be character-
ised to be comparable small in terms of size and
young in terms of cluster management experi-
ence. In Appendix II the most relevant cluster initi-
atives are listed.
This discussion paper explores the role clusters, cluster initiatives and cluster organisations can play in the context of facilitating entrepreneurship within emerging industries. For the pupose of this paper clusters are understood as regional ecosystems of related industries represented through a group of firms, related economic actors and institutions that are located near each other and have reached a sufficient scale to develop specialised expertise etc. Cluster initiatives are organised efforts to support the competitiveness of a cluster and thus consist of practical actions related to the capacity of these clusters to self-organise and increasingly to pro-actively shape the future of the cluster. They usually follow a bottom-up approach, are implemented through a competitive process, and are often managed by specialised intermediaries, such as cluster organisations. Cluster organisations are the legal enti-ties that support the strengthening of collaboration, networking and learning in clusters, and act as innovation support providers by providing or channelling specialised and customised business support services to stimulate innovation activities, especially in SMEs. They are usually the actors that facilitate strategic partnering across clusters.1 Emerging industries can be understood as either new industrial sectors or existing industrial sectors that are evolving or merging into new industries. They are defined as “the establishment of an entirely new industrial value chain, or the radical reconfiguration of an existing one, driven by a disruptive idea (or convergence of ideas).
This discussion paper puts clusters and in particular cluster initiatives and cluster organisations into the spotlight as they constitute the players in the cluster ecosystem through which such an access can be provided.
The present discussion paper, serves to initiate a debate on the current and future role of clusters and cluster organisations in connection with skills development with a special focus on emerging indus-tries.
In recent years, “the cluster and skills” topic gained increasing importance among policy makers in Europe, notably in the context of the New skills Agenda, the Blueprint for sectoral cooperation on skills, Sector Skills Alliance under ERASMUS+, the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition etc 1. As this paper will show, numerous cluster organisations have initiated actions related to education and training. The rationale for this trend is the emergence of new industries and increasing technological convergence which leads to continuously change of workforce skills by industry. The ongoing discussions point out that much more clarity is needed on how current training efforts are embedded in cluster development and by whom these measures can be implemented best. Also, more insights on what kind of role clus-ter organisations can or should play to assure that workforce skills match the ongoing needs of indus-try, markets, and society are required.
StressTesting Regional Approaches Conducive to Implement S3 through ClustersGerd Meier zu Koecker
The present Policy Report summarises the findings of the 11 Apline regions’ StressTest reports and provides reflections how to make more use of cluster-based approaches in mplementing S3 in practice.
The Interplay between S3 and Clusters - StressTesting Regional Approaches Con...Gerd Meier zu Koecker
Most European Union (EU) regions have developed Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) as integrated part of their regional innovation strategies. The challenge is to implement S3 through clusters in order to gain sustainable and inclusive growth while generating critical mass of economically viable activities. StressTesting these approaches reveals value insights that go beyond existing knowledge and stimulates policy learning.
The presentation summarises the findings of 11 Alpine Region StressTest exercises and provides reflections how to make more use of cluster-based approaches in implementing S3
Do we need cluster in a digitalized world? What added value can they provide to SMEs? what do they already do? The presentation introduces in the topic of "clusters & digitalization" and provides good practices from Baden-Württemberg how cluster managements can help SMEs to better digitalize.
The present report identifies potential synergies among Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) of the S3-4AlpClusters partners. It goes beyond the current state of discussion on S3 formulation and promotes a better understanding of what cross-regional collaboration and resulting synergies mean for the selected partners from the Alpine Region in the context of Smart Specialisation. The report is intended to shed light on sectors and industries which can be matched transnationally to gain critical mass for global success as well as on tools and policy instruments that can likely support such development. The report shifts away from traditional approaches to cluster matchmaking as a tool for cross-sectorial and cross-regional cooperation. It provides valuable insights into the forthcoming demands and dynamics of cross-regional cluster collaboration. It highlights the opportunities for joint innovation among regions of different population sizes as well as different investment capacities, and different areas of specialisation.
Most cluster initiatives around the globe still struggle to develop a sustainable business model to assure long term financing. Based on current data on financial sources of cluster initiatives, the presentation introduces how a sustainable model of financing could look like
The Alpine Macro Region is one of European Innovation Hotspots, especially in the field of Eco Innovation. However, cross-regional cooperation is still an exception
Cluster are going to play an important role in regional development, coordination and strategy development. There are plenty of upcoming financing opportunities to cluster organizations to play a more important role. Cluster initiatives from Danube Region shall not miss this opportunity
The management of cluster A1 carried out a so-called impact
analysis in co-operation with the Institute for Innovation and
Technology (iit) in April/May 2012. The objective of the investigations
was to find out in which fields and to which extent the
players of cluster A had particularly profited from the networking
and in which fields the members’ requirements, especially
those of the enterprises, could eventually not have been met.
The results of the study clearly show that the enterprises in cluster
A have generally been able to benefit well or even very well
from the net-working activities.
Equally important is the fact that the surveyed enterprises had
achieved excellent effects specifically in those fields that had
been considered particularly important for a large number of
cluster participants.
This fact illustrates that the management of cluster A had predominantly
focused its activities on the fields of high priority
and has been able to achieve very positive effects.
In the context of limited resources available to the cluster
management organisation, this finding is of high relevance.
The performance of the enterprises involved in cluster A can be
described as good.
At least half of the network’s players range above the general
industry average regarding typical indicators like turnover or
productivity.
The impact analysis shows that public investments generally
result in monetary benefits for the companies involved in a
cluster initiative. The monetary effect (output) hereby has turned
out to be larger than the public sector invest-ments (input)
made over the same period of time. The output/input leverage
amounts to 2.3. Thus, each euro invested to the cluster by
public authorities generates a monetary benefit of EUR 2.3
which is an encouraging result.
The overall analysis revealed that the sum of monetary effects
had been larger than the total number of investments made by
the public and private sector (the output-input-rate amounts
to 1.3).
This result can in fact be interpreted as consolidated legitimization to public investments in recent years.
Existing and well-functioning regional or national innovation systems designed to support scienceand
technology-based innovation have to be further developed in order to be able to meet new
challenges from emerging global markets for technology and new forms of global knowledgesharing.
Across all countries, governments have recently been involved in research and education;
hence a need for new knowledge and new business skills will also have to be in the focus of
governmental interest. Governments have constantly been called upon to react accordingly and to
adopt innovation-friendly framework conditions. New policy tools have been created to be able to
better meet this challenge.
The regional dimension has also become of increasing significance. Nowadays, regions have come
up with own innovation strategies considering the individual regional strengths instead of spreading
public investments thinly across several frontier technology research fields and, as a consequence,
not making much of an impact.
Innovation policy has to acknowledge that traditional boundaries between manufacturing and
services are increasingly being blurred. The success of manufacturing depends, for instance, very
much on innovative services, such as design, marketing and logistics as well as on product related
after-sales services, and vice versa. More and more service providers are manufacturing goods
that build upon or are related to their service portfolio or distribution channels. But regional and
industrial development policies and tools are still not sufficiently taking account of these changes.
Service innovation is in fact a driver for growth and structural change across the entire economy. It
helps to make the entire economy more productive and provides fuel for innovation in other
industries. It even has the potential to create new growth poles and to lead markets that have a
macro-economic impact.
The so called systematic innovation policy approach, which has recently been introduced in many
industrialised countries, is based on the assumption that an effective innovation policy has to
improve all determinants that influence a given sector-specific innovation system.
The indicator-based Analysis of National Innovation Systems Approach (ANIS), developed by the
Institute for Innovation and Technology (iit Berlin) includes a comprehensive examination and
evaluation of the status of national innovation systems. It is mainly intended for emerging and
developing countries for which standard innovation benchmarking and monitoring approaches
might not be sufficient as statistical data is often missing or outdated. Policy-makers of these
countries can benefit from clear advice on how to overcome weaknesses within their national
innovation system and to identify determinants of specific relevance.
Forschungsatlas Elektromobilität - Prioritäre Forschungsthemen und regionale ...Gerd Meier zu Koecker
Vor dem Hintergrund der künftigen Bedeutung von Elektromobilität für den Industriestandort Deutschland ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass sich Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik seit Jahren in diesem Thema engagieren. Allein die Bundesregierung hat in den vergangenen Jahren mehr als 1.3 Mrd. € in Forschung, Bildung und Innovation investiert. Gleichzeitig hat die Industrie ebenfalls in mindestens gleicher Größenordnung investiert. Diese Zahlen zeigen, dass die Elektromobilität ein wichtiges Forschungsfeld
in Deutschland darstellt.
Gleichzeitig haben sich über die Jahre in verschiedenen Bereichen in Deutschland erste Anzeichen einer regionalen
Spezialisierung gezeigt. So spezialisieren sich die Akteure in
Berlin / Brandenburg und in der Region Rhein-Ruhr auf „Mobilitätskonzepte“, während die klassischen Automobilstandorte vor allem in den Bereichen „Produktion und Fertigung“ sowie „Fahrzeuge / Fahrzeugkomponenten“ aktiv sind. Niedersachsen und Dresden fokussieren sich auf den Bereich „Laden und Speichern“. In Sachsen sind besonders viele Forschungsaktivitäten im Bereich „Hybridbusse“ zu verzeichnen. Der Forschungsatlas gibt hier einen umfassenden Überblick.

Implementation RIS3 through Clusters - New Role of Clusters in Regional Devel...Gerd Meier zu Koecker
In recent years, cluster policy has gained increased importance in improving the competitiveness of local industries and in facilitating industrial transformation processes. The majority of European regions has developed regional Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) to stimulate more strategic and more focused investments in the regions to create more jobs and economic growth. These growth strategies, based on clusters in the respective regions, demand comprehensive efforts for mobilising resources for accelerating innovation and industrial transformation efforts. Regions are a driving force in this endeavour, as favourable place-based business conditions are making a difference to incentivise actors in the real economy, notably small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Industrial transformation is a significant challenge for regional policy makers to adapt existing cluster policies accordingly. Requirements for enterprises, clusters as well as for cluster policy are changing dramatically. The challenge is to implement S3 through clusters to gain sustainable and inclusive growth. Not much experiences exist due to a lack of knowledge about S3 in other regions.
The presentation shows new ways how to make better use of clusters and how to measure the systematic of the related approach.
