Regional Policy aims to align Cohesion Policy funding with the Europe 2020 strategy to promote smart growth across EU regions. It encourages all regions to design 'smart specialisation strategies' to identify competitive strengths and focus resources on developing a limited number of innovation priorities. The European Commission will establish a Smart Specialisation Platform to assist regions in developing and reviewing their strategies. Strategies should be bottom-up and partnership-based, rather than imposed from above, to effectively promote innovation and unlock regional growth potential.

Editor's Notes
- The level of innovation in regions varies considerably across almost all EU countries. This is one of the main findings of the 2009 Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS), published today by the JRC's Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC), together with the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry and the Maastricht University (MERIT). The 2009 RIS, based on the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) approach and methodology, assesses innovation performances across 201 regions in the EU and Norway. Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic are the most heterogeneous countries, where innovation performance varies from low to medium-high. The report marks a significant step forward in measuring regional innovation performance although it also shows that more progress is needed on the availability and quality of innovation data at regional level. The results confirm the value of measuring innovation performance at regional level to complement the national level and emphasize the need for policies to reflect regional contexts. While on average the pattern of innovation is quite stable between year 2004 and 2006, several regions, in particular in Spain and France, have improved their innovation performance. The report also shows that the most innovative regions are typically in the most innovative countries, although some regions outperform their country level. 2009 RIS clusters the regions in five groups, ranging from the highest to the lowest overall innovators: The report marks a significant step forward in measuring regional innovation performance although it also shows that more progress is needed on the availability and quality of innovation data at regional level.
