The head of the Economic and Trade section at the EU Delegation in Australia, Ivano Casella, welcomed RDA Hunter’s focus on Smart Specialisation.
“This is yet another worthy example of how organisations in Australia can link and work with the EU which is the world’s largest economy,” Mr Casella said.
“The EU’s Smart Specialisation platform is all about identifying niche areas of competitive strength, solving major societal challenges as well as bringing in a demand-driven dimension, innovation partnerships emphasising greater co-ordination between different societal stakeholders and aligning resources and strategies between private and public actors of different governance levels.” Mr Casella said. Regions in the EU have benefited from using the smart specialisation platform to identify their comparative advantages to create jobs and prosperity.
