Abstract: This JRC policy insight presents the main findings of an online event that took place on 30th September and 8th October 2020, organised by the Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR) of Algarve, Portugal, and the JRC Territorial Development unit, as part of the project "Targeted Support to RIS3 Implementation in Lagging Regions". The workshop aimed to support the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process (EDP), a key feature of Smart Specialisation (BOX 1), with a focus on the digitalisation of tourism. The main objective was to stimulate entrepreneurs to share experience, identify obstacles, and suggest solutions to strengthen the innovative capacity of the region in this specific S3 priority. It brought together a range of actors in the territory, from business, research, and public administration to discuss issues relevant to the Algarve region.
