Abstract

In the chapter, we review the literature on regional specialization and diversification and examine how these concepts tie in with implementing regional “smart specialization†(RIS 3). We analyze and evaluate the Green Valley project, located in Poland’s Lower Silesia region - as a case of innovation capacity enhancement aimed at the diversification of a strong regional economy - so far known for FDI driven manufacturing. Green Valley aims to revive the region’s once successful sector of agro-food production and processing, but now to be based on innovation and the production of high-quality, next-generation food. The successful launch of the Green Valley project carries important lessons about how complementary smart specialization can be implemented in a region which has already developed some effective business strategies. We conclude our chapter with a preliminary model of successful complementary regional smart specialization based on the leading role of an entrepreneurial university.
