Ellen Pedersen, ex-Project Manager TACIS, currently manager of the EU export promotion programmes to Japan:
"inno engaged with the European Commission in the process of modernising the naukograds (Scientific Cities) in the Russian Federation. The project team made all the difference in that process, and results emerged in each naukograd. A sound regional Innovation Strategy (the first of its kind in Russia) was approved and implementation started, commercialisation activities from scientific centres took place with concrete return on investments, and related benefits.
A successful project depends on people, ideas, and political will."

CzechInvest commissioned inno a study for the development of a regional strategy to propose the Moravia Silesia region as a model for the rest of the country. The aim was to demonstrate the importance of providing an adequate supply of market-ready industrial and business sites to attract foreign direct investments (FDI) and support the development of local SMEs in one of the country’s economic black spots.
|
|
The primary objective of this project was to:
 | Identify current FDI trends at a European level and translate these trends into land and property needs and sector requirements
|
| Develop a methodology and a database for gathering information on regional land and property supply
|
| Prepare a land and property database and develop a number of pilot projects
|
| Prepare an industrial land and property regional strategy.
|
The mission to secure the objectives was divided into four main phases.
| The first phase focussed on identifying the current international trends regarding mobile FDI by sector and by country and in identifying best practices in terms of policies of attraction developed by various inward investment agencies. The results of this analysis were then used to inform and assess current regional industrial and business land supplies.
|
| The second phase involved a detailed review of current regional market trends (supply and demand) and the preparation of a database listing all available land and property suitable for industrial and business development within Moravia-Silesia.
|
| In the third phase, pilot projects were developed by the team of economists, planners, designers and engineers to ensure that the strategy recommendations could be implemented. These included the flagship business park based around the Ostrava International Airport. Other key elements included economic indicators (jobs, investment etc) relating to the strategy outputs.
|
| The final phase consisted of preparing a regional strategy and implementing the “pilot projects”. New partnership proposals based on consensus amongst regional and national actors were also prepared in light of the opportunities of EU structural funds. Throughout the project a range of dissemination activities and workshops were organised to ensure regional ownership of the resultant strategy.
|
inno TSD provided the main economic development and FDI trend analysis inputs while the overall project was managed by GDSI and included local partners (Berman Group) and other international partners such as Tecnova.
