Factsheets
•22.000 Km2
•4,2 mill. inhabitants
• 430 th. enterprises 1 each
10 inhabitants
• 97% of enterprises < 20
workers
• 134 bill. € regional GDP
• 31.700 € per capita GDP
• 47 bill. € export, 13% of
national total
•Highly specialised and
competitive clusters
•9 Provinces with a low level
of socio-economic disparities
•For 2009 expected GDP -2,2
Key elements of development policies of the Region
• Territorial approach to development (supported by regional laws
in R&D, energy, tourism, trade, craftsman, cooperation,
internationalisation, industry, and related programmes)
• Negotiated approach and using of negotiated instruments
(expression of interest, technical negotiation, agreements)
• Partnership relevance (horizontal partnership with social and
economic actors)
• Multi-level governance (vertical partnership with local
institutions)
• Using of tools of EU regional policies (objective oriented
programming, monitoring, evaluation, control)
Partnership relevance
Socio–economic and institutional partnership as a
common methodology of regional policies and as a
tool to share decisions and to reinforce commitment:
Vertical partnership between regional and local public
institutions (provinces and municipalities) but also with
national and European institutions (i.e. NSRF,Industrial
District Programme, 2015 Industry Programme)
Horizontal partnership among socio and economic
actors (business associations, labour organisations,
civil society).
i.e.Task force for the economic and financial crisis for
social secuirity and credit measures
Negotiated planning as an instrument to involve
actors and territories
Strategic orientations and guidelines defined at regional level
Common sharing and
definition of
interventions based
on complex
characteristics of
territorial assets
Local institutions
Economic and social
partnership
Projects developed by territorial stakeholders
ERDF ROP 2007-2013:
an example of strategic regional planning
Key elements in programming ROP
• Definition of the Programme within strategic objectives set at EU level
(Lisbon and Goteborg strategies)
• Thematic concentration of interventions (Innovation, knowledge
society, research and technology transfer, environmental sustainability,
renewable energies)
• Interpreting territory as a a determining factor of regional economic
system
• Setting objective targets and monitoring the performance through
measurable indicators
• High integration with regional programming instruments
• Relevance of horizontal and vertical partnership in programming and
implementation phases
• Multi-annual planning (2007-2013)
Socio-economic context
• Reinforcement of the role of medium-large sized firms, or small
dynamic firms
• Increased sector complexity and inter-cluster connections –
Individuation of regional macro-clusters
• Higher specialisation and international trends
• Increased efforts of companies in R&D
• Increased networking of universities and research institutions at
regional level
• Greater need of qualified professionals in the technological,
creative, cultural and organisational fields
• Need for enhancing cultural and environmental heritage
disseminated across the region

Strategy
•Promoting development of a sustainable economy able to
maintain a high level social quality in an economic framework
• open to European integration and international
competitiveness,
•towards a “new competitive industry”
•mainly through knowledge and innovation and
•focusing on the territory as a determining factor of innovative
development of the regional economic system
Strategic set
• Operations for companies

Priorities
Priority 1: Industrial research and technology transfer (in
addition to 2 regional programmes implemented in the last 5
years)
Priority 2: Development of Innovative enterprises (in addition
to the regional programme for industry and that for the
dissemination of broad band)
Priority 3: Energy-environmental qualification and

• The main risk of territorial policy is
fragmentation
• The main advantage is the multiplyer
effect of resources and thus the
integration of policies
• What is needed is strong and
appropriate governance
