Resumo
Contexto: A inovação, a investigação e o desenvolvimento tornaram-se numa das prioridades da política nacional e regional durante a última década, já que o conhecimento, a aprendizagem e a inovação são aspetos-chave para se atingir um desenvolvimento económico e competitivo para as empresas, regiões e nações. A União Europeia (UE) é constituída por diversos países e regiões diferentes, cada uma com características e sistemas de investigação, desenvolvimento e inovação distintos. As Estratégias de Investigação e Inovação para uma Especialização Inteligente (RIS3) pretendem estimular mais investimento em investigação, inovação e empreendedorismo como resposta ao hiato de produtividade transatlântico e constituíram uma condição ex-ante exigida para os estados-membros e regiões terem acesso aos fundos europeus. A premissa da RIS3 é que qualquer região, especialmente as menos desenvolvidas e em transição, desenvolva capacidades, tendo em conta as especificidades da sua região, de forma a obter vantagens competitivas em (pelo menos) alguns nichos de mercado. Objetivo: A presente dissertação pretende analisar a perceção dos atores, isto é, dos centros de investigação, clusters, associações, atores do governo e empresas (de diferentes dimensões e inclusive start-ups), sobre a RIS3 Norte e estudar a transferência de tecnologia (TT) Universidade-Empresa, nos últimos três anos, em instituições situadas no domínio geográfico da RIS3 Norte. Metodologia: Para a persecução deste trabalho, em termos metodológicos, recorremos à metodologia mista. Os dados são provenientes de entrevistas semi-estruturadas aplicadas aos atores regionais dos oito domínios da RIS3 e de dados secundários. Para o tratamento dos dados quantitativos foi utilizado o Excel e para a análise dos dados qualitativos recorreu-se ao Iramuteq (Interface de R pour lês Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires). Resultados/ Conclusão: Através da revisão de literatura, verificamos que a RIS3 não é mais do que um processo que visa definir prioridades de investimentos em domínios onde exista massa crítica para o desenvolvimento económico e social das regiões. Deve, ainda, consistir num processo contínuo para permitir o ajustamento das prioridades definidas em função da evolução registada. Os resultados empíricos deste estudo evidenciaram que a perceção dos atores acerca da adequação da RIS3 Norte não corresponde à adequação da RIS3 definida pelos decisores políticos. Originalidade/Valor: Os resultados dão um contributo significativo no que se refere ao processo de TT entre os atores regionais, dando a conhecer a importância das relações entre estes para o crescimento e desenvolvimento regional, para além de oferecer uma visão geral sobre as perceções e o conhecimento dos atores regionais do Norte sobre a RIS3.
Context: Innovation, research and development have become a priority of national and regional policy over the last decade, as knowledge, learning and innovation are key to achieving economic and competitive development for businesses, regions and nations. The European Union (EU) is made of several different countries and regions, each with different research, development and innovation characteristics and systems. The Research and Innovation Strategies for Intelligent Specialisation (RIS3) aim to stimulate more investment in research, innovation and entrepreneurship as a response to the transatlantic productivity gap and became an ex-ante condition required for member states and regions having access to European funds. The idea of RIS3 is that any region, especially the less developed and in transitional, develop capabilities, taking into account the specificities of their region, in order to obtain competitive advantages in (at least) some niche markets. Objective: The present dissertation aims to asses stakeholders’, namely research centres, clusters, associations, government actors and companies (of different sizes and development stages) perceptions about RIS3 North and study the technology transfer (TT) university-industry, in the last three years, in institutions located in the geographical area of RIS3 North. Methodology: For the achievement of this study, in methodological terms, we used mixed methods. Data originating from semi-structured interviews applied to regional stakeholders of the eight domains of RIS3 and from secondary data. Data analysis was performed using Excel for quantitative data and the qualitative data through the Iramuteq (Interface for MultiDimensional Analyzes of Textes et de Questionnaires) software. Results/ Conclusion: Through the literature review, we have verified that RIS3 is no more than a process that’s aims to define investment priorities in areas where a critical mass exists for regional economic and social development. It should also consist of a continuous process to allow the adjustment of the priorities defined in the light of the evolution registered. Empirical results of the investigation suggest that the stakeholders’ perception of the fitness of the RIS3 defined for their region does not match with the RIS3 defined by the policy makers. Originality/ Value: Our results contribute to a better understanding of TT among regional stakeholders, highlighting the importance of relationships between them for regional growth and development, furthermore we provide an overview of the perception and awareness of stakeholders in the North of Portugal about RIS3.
