Company Profile and Innovation Services Portfolio  Established in 1990. Developed into one of the largest specialized consultancy groups in South East Innovation Policy Support • Europe Innovation and Technology •  Listed at Athens Exchange Market Development Projects  A leading company in technology management & innovation, which: Technology Incubation •  Continuously increases its corporate Investment in innovative companies • value through investment in innovation  Holds and expands its international position

Impact of Science Technology Parks  Establishing links between Research and Industry actors;  Advancing towards Com m ercialization and Innovation ;  Serve as technology transfer mechanism;  Generate new business and jobs in knowledge based sectors;  Develop innovation culture at regional and national scale;  Serve as governm ent instrum ent for deploying innovation policies.

4 th Generation STPs  Encouraging m ultidisciplinary interactions  Mixed use for Academia and Businesses  Experimental labs for proof of concept and quick m arket entry  Not a “technogeto” anymore  Offer on site am enities (restaurants, sports facilities, leisure center)  Embracing global focus, support internationalization  Facilitating exchange of ideas within the wider Region 2000 and Beyond: Early Parks: Stand-Alone 1990s: Connections Economic Driver for the Physical Space Region

Case study: Thessaloniki New Technology Park (Concept and Plan jointly developed by Euroconsultants S.A. and Thessaloniki Technology Park) S3 Sectors • Agrofood • Tourism • Materials • Apparel and Textile • ICT • Energy • Environment • Transport Thessaloniki Innovation Ecosystem

ThessINTEC and Mega- Projects  ThessINTEC provides a unique opportunity for Thessaloniki and the Region of Central Macedonia to bring together its strongest industrial, business, research and innovation potential in a coordinated, top- class, innovative synergistic model.  Mega- Projects Industry driven and attractive to foreign private investments;   Offering a value proposition for industrial, research and other type of actors; Focused on a thematic area and aim directly to the development and  commercialization of innovative products and services;  Providing incentives customized to the needs of “Mega- Projects” owners.

Smart Specialization techniques to identify key industrial and technology Areas Industry Research Types of innovation cooperation Dynam ics Readiness m echanism s LOW LOW None applicable LOW HIGH Cluster Project Technology Platforms and Education/ HIGH LOW Training Facilities HIGH HIGH Mega-Projects Selection Criteria • Excellent RTD performance, competitive at an international level; •High quality and volume scientific production; •Dynamic industrial activity and extroversion; •Significant technology transfer results (spin- offs, patents, etc.); •Relevance to global Mega- Trends pushing research and innovation.

Analysis of Methodology • In order to highlight areas of scientific excellence that may drive innovation and support the Analysis of • Objectives; products competitiveness of local • Large-scale social, and services; Regional Industry industry but also attract economic, activities; clients and Dynam ics international actors both political, sectors; value Introducing the research and industry; environmental or proposition; action scientific publication concept of “Mega- technological plan; project • In order to approach the production; regional challenges that Projects” requirements; risks; thematic areas which can be scientific specialization; will significantly draft budget and supported in the framework technology transfer results • Selection based on a set of pre- affect Science, timeline, etc.; Using of ThessINTEC; regional such as spin- offs and Technology and defined criteria; RTD SWOT (Strengths, economic data; economic patents; participation in Innovation (STI) performance; industry Weaknesses, sector specialization; regional EU RTD Programmes; and dynamics and critical mass; at a global level; Opportunities and competitiveness; exports RIS3 specialisation technology transfer results Threats) data; clustering potential; results; (patents and spin-offs); methodology. industrial leaders that drive relevance to Mega- Trends; Overview of the innovation; innovative Analysis and global companies and spin- offs Mapping of hosted in incubators, etc. evaluation of “Megatrends” Regional Research selected “Mega- and Technological Projects” Developm ent production

Positioning and Trends of Focus Areas Advanced materials and manufacturing processes FA1 • Significant scientific production (AUTh- Mech. Eng., etc.) • Dynamic industrial partners (Alumil, Kleemann, ISOMAT, etc.) • A critical mass of innovative companies and spin- offs active in the field (Brite, CHIMAR, Plin, etc.) • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) Flexible Organic Nanotechnology applications Significant scientific production, excellence in H2020 programmes (AUTh, Dept. of Physics, etc.) • FA2 • Formulation of an active cluster of companies (HopeA) • A critical mass of innovative companies and spin- offs active in the field • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) Artificial Intelligence and Simulation Applications FA3 • Significant scientific production, excellence in H2020 programmes (CERTH- ITI, AUTh- Dept. of Informatics, etc.) • A vibrant community of ICT companies active in various domains • ICT as an enabling technology • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) Clean Energy Innovative Solutions • Significant scientific production, excellence in H2020 programmes (CERTH- CPERI) FA4 • An extrovert niche cluster providing services to large industrial actors abroad • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) Agrotech and food technologies • Significant scientific production (AUTh- School of Agronomy, CERTH- INEB, etc.) FA5 • Strong primary and secondary production basis • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) Medical Sciences FA6 • Significant scientific production • Important Public and Private Medical Infrastructure • Medical devices and industry dynamics are rather negligible Competence Centre for Logistics and Business Challenges FA7 • Recognised strategic geographical position as an important logistic node • Proximity with new Balkan Markets • Logistics are considered a growth leveragefor the Greek economy • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) Future Mobility Applications • Dynamic Industrial partners FA8 • Significant scientific production • Strong extroversion and exporting capacity of local knowledge providers; • Relevance to Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3)
