Exploiting synergy between functioning of European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), its Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), integrated knowledge triangle and Baltic innovation ecosystem
2. 2
What BaltKIC is?
• the macro- regional initiative composed of University of Szczecin as
a lead partner, Westpomerania Region, Northern Chambers of
Commerce, BIRTI organization and Baltic Sea States Subregional
Co-opretaion (BSSSC) member(s)
• BSR interlinked, organizational innovation consortium supported by
involvement of well- established pan-Baltic organization (BSSSC,
represented by Helsinki-Uusimma Region) with focus on innovation
and entrepreneurship as a cross-cutting theme its 2013-2014
Presidency
• Driven by concept of pan-Baltic triple helix model as a knowledge
free flow between pan-Baltic organizations of regional authorities,
business, academe, civil society and finance for BSR trans-national
innovation (slide 8)
3. 3
• Focused on attempt to develop an integration of
knowledge triangle within Baltic dimension (BSR IKT
model; slide 17 + accompanying documents)
• Designed as a peer learning organization that utilizes its
collective intelligence to stimulate an emergence of the
BSR innovation partnerships in response to forthcoming
challenges arisen by European Institute of Innovation
and Technology (EIT) – 2018 KICs themes
• Based of findings of BSR Innovation Monitor 2012 FORA

Mission
1) To exploit a synergy between European Union Strategy towards
Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) and European Institute of
Innovation and Technology (EIT) within Innovation Union as a
flagship initiative of Europe 2020 [slide 6]
2) To interlink the BSR ecosystem of innovation by involvement of
pan-Baltic organizations and networks, EUSBSR flagships, BSR
clusters and civil society as an end-user of innovation around
goal-oriented target*
3) To contribute to the process of establishing the Baltic Sea Region
Innovation Strategy – BSRIS (EUSBSR Priority Area Innovation)
within the framework of multi-level governance (EUSBSR
Horizontal Action Involve) understood as involvement of pan-
Baltic organizations of regions, business, academe and civil
society (also BSSSC) into the process of development and
implementation of EUSBSR [slide 7]
5. 5
4) To focus on exploiting the BSR critical mass to inrease
innovation capacity for *emergence of pan- Baltic
partnerships in line with themes of future 2018
Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) at EIT
that will be capable to set up at least one Co-location
Centre per 2018 KICs in BSR
5) To set up BaltKIC Focus Point in perpsective of 2015-
2018 that will act as a knowledge broker/innovation
intermediary between EUSBSR actors and EIT
Outreach initiative that is to be established in 2014

EIT factsheet
• EIT established in 2008 within the framework of
Innovation Union flagship/Europe 2020
• Operates throughout Knowledge and Innovation
Communities as an international partnerships consortia
(3 independent partners organizations from 3 different
EU states; at least one university and one private
company); long term investments (7-15 years)
• 12 KICs from 2009-2018 (slide 11); cross-sectoral, co-
operative model of network [slide 12]
• 5-6 Collocation Centres per each of KICs (slide 10)
• Integrated knowledge triangle as a catalyst of
collaboration between business, high education and
research and technology (+ emphasize on regions and
social dimension); [slide 10]

What BaltKIC can be soon (2013-2014)?
Support initiative/project to the process of establishing
the Baltic Sea Region Innovation Strategy (led by BSR
Stars) by:
1. provision of knowledge to BSR Stars on EIT/KICs
ongoing development (EIT presence in EU inno
ecosystem shall be taken into account when
establishing BSRIS)
2. collaboration with BSR Stars on development of BSR
smart specialization strategies- ,,Malmoe process” (f.i
by exploring possible thematic match-make of
sustainable cities as one of proposed BSR 3S’s and
2018 KIC urban mobility)
3. EUSBSR ,,ambassador project” to EIT- inflow/outflow of
information in both ways
15. 15
What BaltKIC intends to be (2015-2018)?
New EUSBSR flagship within Priority Area
Innovation (PAI) that:
1. stream the knowledge into Baltic Innovation Spaces
(defined as a thematic reflection of 2018 KIC themes)
on best solutions to construct the Baltic CLCs (slide
17)
2. Tool to reach an advantage over other EU KICs driven
consortia by exploiting the full potential of the EUSBSR
flagships and involvement of pan-Baltic organizations
and networks around goal-oriented focus
16. 16
3. proffesional knowledge intensive service (P-KIS)
provider to other EUSBSR priority areas (flagships) on
KICs know-how (including organizational structure,
financial mechanism, IPR and business strategies) e.g
PA Secure vs 2018 KIC Smart secure societies, PA
SME vs 2018 KIC Add value manufacturing etc
4. contributes in to meet specified EUSBSR Action Plan
target of PAI to increase the numebr of international
partnerships by 150% in 2020 (by stimulation of
building BSR 2018 KIC oriented partnerships and
alliances)- Baltic located Collocation Centres and
nodes

Who can be part of BALTKIC?
• BALTKIC is designed to be composed of Direct
Stakeholders (project partners with financial
responsibilities) and Indirect Stakeholders that are
networked within the BCCA, BBA/BDF, BUP, Baltic NGO
Network and BSSSC etc (BALTKIC summary
accompanying this presentation explains the above
definition in details)
• Network strongly invites other organizations/networks
that are innovation-driven e.g industrial clusters,
research and innovation intensive clusters, consultancy
firms, centres for excellence, international financial
institutions and social organizations to get involved
