The Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) is a policy framework developed by the European Union to promote regional economic growth through targeted investment in areas of unique strength and potential innovation^[1]. The concept was first introduced by the Knowledge for Growth expert group and became a key tool of the EU Cohesion Policy. S3 encourages regions to focus on their competitive advantages, leveraging local expertise, skills, and resources to drive economic development and create sustainable jobs.

Unlike traditional approaches that may spread resources thinly across sectors, smart specialization directs funding towards specific industries or fields where regions have the potential for high impact and growth. The strategy involves stakeholder collaboration, data-driven analysis, and entrepreneurial discovery processes to identify and prioritize these areas. S3 has been widely adopted by EU regions to boost competitiveness, innovation, and resilience.
