Abstract: "This policy brief presents two fundamental ideas: first, that European cohesion funds can effectively support agile and efficient place-based transformative innovation policies, which boost competitive and sustainable ecosystems in areas such as circularity and reducing fossil fuel dependency. This is achieved through multilevel government and a strong stakeholder involvement, as demonstrated by the experiences of Finland and Denmark. Second, regions can enhance their capacity for transformative innovation through structured capacity-building processes, including study visits and exchanges. The study visit conducted by the Andalusian government to Finland and Denmark, designed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and supported by the TAIEX-REGIO instrument, serves as a clear example presented in this report. The insights and lessons learned from this experience could be valuable to other European regions seeking opportunities for transformation and aspiring to collaborate in this journey."
