The identification of Smart Specialisation priority domains in Albania. A mapping exercise
This study by the JRC supports a first identification of the economic and productive domains that might be considered in the selection of the priority areas for a Smart Specialisation Strategy in Albania, and it includes both quantitative and a qualitative analyses.
Smart Specialisation is one of the flagship initiatives of the Western Balkan Agenda on Research, Innovation, Education, Culture, Youth and Sport. It is also included in other EU policy documents regarding the region, such as the 2021 Communication on EU Enlargement Policy and the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans. The commitment of Albania to the Smart Specialisation process started in 2016, under the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, and is currently strongly supported by the Prime Minister’s Office. In November 2017, Albania registered on the JRC Smart Specialisation Platform and since then the country has been implementing a roadmap for the definition of a National Strategy for Smart Specialisation, with the assistance of the EC and according to the JRC methodological framework for Smart Specialisation in the EU Enlargement and Neighbourhood countries.
