The regional political activities
• Creation of chemical parks
• Creation of chemical clusters
• regional clusters, cross-border clusters, world-class clusters
• Setting up regional thematic networks
• circular economy, sustainability...
• Trans-disciplinary networks
• Awards for best practices
• Visiting experiences
Regional policy
The turn into innovation in regional policy needs - innovation policy design and - delivery
top-down as well as
bottom-up approaches
clusters
Cluster organisations have a strong regional base_______________________________________• Each region develops their own cluster policy
• The cluster programme should be based on measurable targets
Thematic networks in the regions

The Flemish Chemistry made a positive balance after three years FISCH-operation
Antwerpen, 16 september 2015 –
FISCH - Flanders' Plastic Vision event "Chemical Revolution"
Since the start of the cluster in March 2012, Flemish companies supported the launch of more than 35 collaborative innovation projects. 18 million Euros who have invested by government and industry in FISCH, along with industrial and academic
partners in these projects, convert to 530 million Euros expected economic value. This is an economic multiplier effect of up to 29.
De Vlaamse Chemie maakt een positieve balans op na 3 jaar FISCH-werking en kijkt kritisch maar hoopvol naar de toekomst.Antwerpen, 16 september 2015 – Op het FISCH – Flanders’ PlasticVision evenement “De Chemische Revolutie” is

4 pillars of competitiveness
BIG-C develops dissemination measures for know-how
1. Building and adapting bioeconomy institutions
2. Developing suitable infrastructure
3. Providing the suitable macroeconomic environment (including public acceptance)
4. Implementing human capital training and education models
Leading Edge Cluster of the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education
BioEconomy Cluster in Halle(DE)
BioEconomy Cluster in Halle(DE)
BioEconomy Cluster is a so-called "cluster of clusters“
other regional clusters are integrated:
Chemistry / Plastics Central Germany
wood cluster "Rottleberode”
Energy and Environment Cluster in Leipzig with its network BioEnergy
Fraunhofer Center for Chemical-Biotechnological Processes (CBP) in Leuna
TREC Danube is a transnational network of regional clusters Iin the field of renewable energy, energy systems and
bioeconomy.
Bioeconomy Cluster in Halle(DE)
And cross-border activities, called 3BI
IAR France brings the mix of its resources from the regional agriculture
BioVale UK working on biowaste
Biobased Delta NL biological resources that can be used, for example in the chemical industry.

ECRN visiting experiences
Participating in international exchange of knowledge about regional policies and benchmarking (learning tools):
• Cluster structures
• Management and governance
• Financing models and options
• Services provided by cluster organisations
Regions and eco-innovation
• Regions can support eco-innovation in various ways
• be local producers and supplier of services & utilities (e.g. heating and energy solutions)
• play a role as motivator and facilitator (inspiring and supporting the adoption of eco-innovative practices)
• play a role as a consumer (e.g. energy and implementation of energy saving activities, green public procurement)
ECRN-the European Chemical Regions Network is …
