Smart Specialisation +Missions
From a regional perspective, and specifically for a small region, like Blekinge, The Missions method has emerged as a very important tool in addition to Smart Specialisation (S3).

We have also added the method in itself as a tool for us to develop in our S3- with the goal of becoming a leading European Missions region ahead and developing our region as a demonstrator.
