Abstract: There is a generalized interest in the so-called New Industrial Policies (NIP) and on European Policies based on Smart Specialisation Strategies and more recently their use for Sustainability (S4). However, when Smart Specialisation was first proposed, it was assumed that European regions would have no difficulties in dropping their long-established ‘planning and control’ governance models and adopt a new approach. This paper illustrates the difficulties in translating the concepts of ‘Smart Specialisation’ and ‘Entrepreneurial Discovery Processes (EDP)’ into policy practices and proposes a policy process that may be used to guide policymakers in implementing Smart Specialisation policies
