Vukovar-Srijem County Development Strategy 2018 - The County has achieved significant results in terms of developing ICT solutions for citizens and businesses, primarily in the field of physical planning (IZAK system - issuing acts in the field of physical planning and construction, GIS map of the County, digital spatial plan of the County and local units). However, the county is underutilizing the potential of ICT technology to improve employee performance. Employees do not sufficiently use more advanced forms of communication based on ICT solutions, and the information system is very poorly developed. Name of the measure: 3.1.4. Development of ICT infrastructure Priority: 3.1. Improving economic infrastructure Strategic goal 3. Modern infrastructure and environmental protection ICT infrastructure finds applications in all branches of the economy and in all fields of science, and is the basis for the successful operation of entrepreneurship, as well as all social and state structures. For these reasons, it is explicitly important to facilitate access to and use of information and communication technology in all sectors, especially with an emphasis on the county, state and social structure. The aim of this measure is to create an ICT environment with which we will help entrepreneurs in other activities in the transfer and development of technologies, and the accelerated commercialization of knowledge and innovation. The VSC needs to create conditions for the unhindered expansion of research, development, production and all forms of use of information and communication technology, which is essential for joining the developed world. Due to the wide range of applications and opportunities offered by the ICT infrastructure (data collection, storage, transmission and processing), information and communication technology can further strengthen and improve VSC.
CROATIAN SMART SPECIALIZATION STRATEGY 2020.
Main objective of Smart specialization strategy for Croatia from 2016. to 2020. and its Action plan is to create new capacities in the knowledge and innovation field. The goal is to achieve the highest potential in transformation of Croatian economy to economy based on activities of research, development, and innovation. There are 6 strategic objectives:
• Capacity enhancement for research, development and innovation for reaching scientific excellence and to complete economic needs
• Overcoming the fragmentation in innovation value chain and the gap between research and business sector
• Modernization and diversification of Croatian economy through increase of private research and development
• Improvement of position in global value chains and internationalization of Croatian economy
• Establishment of cooperative relationship regarding social challenges
• Smart skills build-up – enhancement of existing and new labour force for smart specialization
As one of horizontal topics of this Strategy is an IT Sector. It is one of crucial factors of economic and
social development, considering people skills, technology level, added value, business results, share in BDP etc. DIH will certainly provide a link between research and business sector, it will push VSC and Croatian economy towards better market position and strengthening the growth possibility. It will create a skilled labour force able to compete on global market an deal with global trends.
EUROPE 2020
One of goals of the Europe 2020 strategy is to raise spending of EU countries up to 3% for research and development.

Boosting Widening Digital Innovation HubsBoosting Widening Digital Innovation Hubs
BOWI project addresses the challenge of limited capacities among DIHs to support the uptake of SAE/I4MS technologies during the last 7 years in the European industry at large. The overall aim of the project is to create a DIH widening network that supports the collaboration of new DIHs (proto-hubs) in regions where SAE and I4MS technologies are underrepresented and well-established DIHs that are highly experienced in these technologies (mature hubs). BOWI takes the first step towards creating a fully sustainable post-project network by:
1. Strengthening proto-hubs by carrying out actual experiments and facilitating the collaboration between proto-hubs and mature hubs;
2. Ensuring sustainability of BOWI network by developing a blended financing accelerator and membership model;
3. Creating the BOWI community, initiating the participation of proto-hubs, mature hubs, regional stakeholders, and investors.
The mechanism will be first tested by supporting 6 pioneer proto-hubs (pioneer stage), which will be later extended to 9 proto-hubs in the second full-fledged strengthening stage, allowing new members of the EU DIH community to participate, including the proto-hubs and mature hubs that are currently not part of the consortium. The post-project BOWI network business model is to be explored, including service and funding needs. To ensure practical experience, all 15 proto-hubs will be supported to conduct 60 (15x4) SAE/I4MS uptake experiments with SMEs in total. For this purpose, an extensive FSTP approach will be used.
The consortium includes experienced partners that participate intensively in the SAE/I4MS strategies (Civitta, FBA, VTT, and RWTH). They are complemented by 6 proto-hubs from various countries that act as pioneer hubs to test and validate approaches (TIT, LITC, UWB, KTP, NTNU, ICT).
