Name Description
Digitalisation - Cyber Security and Digital Applications Cyber security, gamification and digital applications in logistics, bio-economy, tourism and in health & well-being. Possibilities for new ideas and innovations are seen especially at the interfaces of different areas and expertise and digital applications. Smart specialisation as a regional objective is the establishment of an open cyber security network and expertise concentration in which cyber security services and education (in particular, education in gamification-related cyber security) are performed together with companies.
Bio- and Circular Economy - Renewable Materials and Energy Smart specialisation as a regional objective rests in the improved utilisation of forest and other natural resources, raw materials and wastes, e.g. in energy use, biofuels, material refining and added value-based innovative products. This priority focuses energy, new products and entrepreneurial activity from resource-effective and low-carbon bio- and circular economies.
Smart and Green Logistics Safety and smart logistics - our region’s expertise in safety in both maritime transport and port operations is the top international level. Smart logistics is a means to intensify operations by which the environment, costs and work time are saved and safety is also added. Smart specialisation as a regional objective is to connect, by means of digitalisation, ports, logistics actors and multimodal terminals into a more active, closer part of the European core transportation chain (TEN-T).
