- I am a little overwhelmed as the first speaker of this panel titled Successful Internationalization Strategies. Furthermore it is part 1, which means there will be a part 2! I’m not sure if I am going to demonstrate a success story but I am going to share with you some reflections that we carry out with regards to the internationalisations strategy of Orkestra, ongoing reflections that help us make decisions about what to do and what not to do.
- Orkestra, the Basque Institute of Competitiveness, is a research centre of the University of Deusto located in the Basque Country (Spain). It studies competitiveness and regional development through different lines of research. We look to undergo transformative research which drives change processes of interest in the Basque Country.
- The institute was formed 9 years ago and from a local team we have incorporated international elements. This has come about more as a consequence than as a vision that has influenced particular decisions rather than a perfectly defined strategy. Since a few years ago we have encouraged an ongoing reflection about our internationalisation strategy, reflections that help us make decisions about which projects or processes we do or do not develop. Beyond these reflections, Orkestra’s international action plan is broader, with networks (formal and informal), but I will focus on the activities of internationalisation.
- Besides our global relationships, why do we believe it to be necessary to internationalise our activity? Orkestra is a knowledge based institute and although its objective is based on the territory, the theoretical and practical knowledge to better understand what is happening in our territory is global, mucho beyond the administrative borders. Furthermore, working on international connections has helped achieve nodes for the Basque Country, both for firms and institutions. Finally, international activity gives us recognition by obtaining funding and access to international talent. We have also noticed that it legitimises us to Stakeholders of the Basque Country.
- The world is very large and we are very small. We must make choices.
- In making choices we have differentiated 4 geographical fields, while prioritising them. This has helped to establish the desired activity levels in each.

- International projects can supply funding and local prestige. They can also help to enhance our knowledge and test our concepts, while generating new knowledge. But this requires a significant effort and can generate dispersion in the organisation. The further away from each other we are geographically, the more selective we must be, prioritising the establishment of long term relationships. The projects that we support must be transforming processes and for this it is necessary that certain capacities already exist in the other organisation. Multilateral projects can be complicated as appropriate contacts must be maintained by the organisation and must be worked on in a sustained manner. In our case this function is easier with those in Europe (European Commission, OECD, etc.) than those in Latin America (BID, World Bank, OAS, etc.) so the local member should maintain this relationship.
