3 Introduction According to the BalticSupply Work Plan the development of interregional SME supply clusters along the Northeast Corridor will focus on 3 clusters of industries: - Energy and Public Infrastructure - Health & Food - Maritime Industries The 3 clusters have been selected for the following reasons: - Strong representation and roots in BSR regions and along the Northeast Corridor: Each cluster comprises a number of industries sharing a common theme (i.e. the sea, public needs, and human life) relevant for all BSR regions. Important cross-sectional BSR industries like ITC, electronics are included as sub-sector in each cluster. - Innovation potentials: The clusters of industries offer ample opportunities for innovative SME suppliers, especially in emerging new sub-sectors or in sub-sectors undergoing structural change. Competitive pressure within these clusters and their sub-sectors is intense and innovation is key to SME competitiveness. - Transnational cooperation is an undetected resource for SME success as suppliers for cluster industries as they are characterised by highly fragmented transnational supply chains (from the primary sector up to services). - Lisbon Strategy: The 3 clusters of industries are knowledge-driven and innovationintensive, thereby increasing regional and business competitiveness. - Gothenburg strategy: All 3 clusters of industries are strongly related to sustainability objectives, either through their product portfolio or through processing technologies or through their regulatory framework. - Baltic Sea Region Programme: Finally all three clusters of industries play an important role in achieving the priority 1 objectives set by the current BSR Programme, e.g. through their business innovation efforts and the big share of SME in the total number of cluster enterprises. Important industries, sub-sectors and innovation areas are covered by the 3 clusters (the following sectoral definitions are to a large extent based on ): Maritime industries: Marine Equipment, Marine Services, Shipbuilding, Maritime Works, Seaports, Shipping, Offshore supply, Inland navigation, Recreational boating, Coastal Tourism, Navy, Fisheries; Energy & Public Infrastructure: Energy Production, Energy Conversion, Energy Distribution, Energy Services, Water Supply, Water Sewage, Waste Management, Environmental technologies, Public Transport, Telecommunication; Health & Food: Public and private Health Services, Medical technologies, Pharmaceutical industry, Biotechnology, Food Production, Food Processing, Food distribution and trade. 3

4 According to the BalticSupply work Plan WP 3 outputs will be designed as reference documents providing for interregional comparability of information used throughout the project. The 3 Cluster of Industries Reports submitted as Outputs O3.1.1, O3.1.2 and O3.1.3 provide data bases in most cases on the level of all 16 BalticSupply partner regions - on - Size and main characteristics of the BalticSupply partner regions, - Representation of the 3 clusters in those regions, - Most important sub-sectors and main competencies of the 3 clusters, - Size and economic importance of the 3 clusters, - SME representation in the 3 clusters, - the internal structure of the 3 clusters clusters broken down by industries and subsectors, - cluster-related Networks, Cluster and Business Organisations and their Activities, - representation of the 3 clusters at supra-regional and national level, - best-practice examples of cluster management organisations, - cluster-relevant knowledge institutions in Baltic regions and countries, - important cluster-related national policies and programmes - the roles, potentials and special support needs of cluster-smes. Reports O3.2.1, O3.2.2 and O3.2.3 are synergy reports based on regional reports elaborated by all project partners. Like the 3 Output reports partner reports and contributions are downloaded on a voluntary basis on the BalticSupply intranet. Output reports and partner reports together with outputs from following WP 3 tasks serve as a common BalticSupply data and knowledge base and will be referred to in further design of the BS Supply Cluster Portal, in proper reflection of regional conditions, cluster characteristics and needs of SMEs wishing to enter interregional supply markets. This report O3.2.1 is focussed on Maritime industries clusters. 4

However what concerns core competences there are several common areas that can be identified: Shipping Logistic /transportation Shipbuilding Electrical engineering/electronics can be mentioned as a subsector that is covered by all regions. 10

11 Most significant competences identified by each BSP regions is as following: Latvia; Crewing industry; metalworking Estonia: Transport services (passengers, goods) Poland: Shipbuilding, production and sale of navigation instruments, ship renovation Finland: Engine production Germany: Shipping, logistics, shipbuilding Denmark: container shipping; product tanker, refrigerated shipping; leading maritime equipment, maritime services Lithuania: shipping and stevedoring services Sweden: shipping What concerns level of clusterization in MI it differs in different BSP countries. In 3 Baltic countries has just started development of MI clusters when in other BSP regions MI clusters are already formed. (see table 3) Table 3 Existence of clusters PL LV LT EE DK DE SWE FI yes not yet not yet started yes yes yes yes 1.3 (1.5) Size and importance of MI clusters As it was emphasized in individual reports, MI industry plays a very important role or even is the most dominant industry sector for BSP regions.

Level of innovativeness of SMEs very much depends on concentration of OEMs in the region. High level of innovativeness in many cases is driven by tasks and needs of local OEMs (e.g. Germany). Other factor that stimulates innovativeness is existence of regional or national innovation programs and policies. (Denmark). What concerns MI SME participation in supply chains the role of SMEs is mainly by providing services and subcontracting to bigger OEMs. 1.5 (1.7) MI OEMs has been indicated and in all BSP regions. (See listed OEMs in regional reports). 2.

Most of BSP regions have been developed and implementing MI national cluster policies. This fact once more confirms the importance of MI sector to BS partner regions. Several most important European MI policies can be mentioned: Integrated maritime policy (with links to sectorial policies): Maritime Transport Strategy of EU (the strategy indentifies key areas where action by the EU will strengthen the competitiveness of the sector; top policy topics are environmental topics/ green shipping/ safety/ security/ surveillance and maritime research and innovation): 15
