Food and Agriculture Organization The global demand for energy will increase by 30% by 2040 International Energy Agency More than 4 Billion people will live in regions short of water by Large-scale water extraction and distribution generally depend on energy resources which are themselves limited. Even the power generated by hydroelectric schemes is endangered by reduction and variability in rainfall. Air pollution quality caused over seven million premature deaths globally in waterfootprint.org

24 Clustering A cluster is a group of businesses, government agencies, research and associated organisations in a defined geographic area that are interconnected and share a common purpose or interest where each contribute to enhance the innovation, growth and competitiveness of both the region and businesses. There are many examples around the globe that show how innovative clusters accelerate: New knowledge and capabilities New product development New business start-ups Private & public investment Productivity improvements Increased competitiveness, and export growth Support positive and integrated outcomes for regional communities

25 Smart Specialisation Regional clusters are increasingly exposed to global competition. By promoting smart specialisation strategies, national and regional governments can enhance the competitiveness of firms and clusters. Smart specialisation is an evidence-based policy framework which uses indicators, technology foresight and other priority-setting tools to help entrepreneurs and firms strengthen existing scientific, technological and industrial specialisation patterns while identifying and encouraging the emergence of new domains of economic and technological activity. QN: What should be the focus of smart specialization for our region?

26 Benefits of collaboration Enables leveraging opportunities and addressing challenges Systemic complexity Gets people out of their traditional silos Drives alignment across initiatives Multiplier effect Working with people who think in the same way is never going to produce anything radical Work with diversity - the unusual suspects QN: Is our region ready for more collaboration?
