Peer review of Basque Cluster Policy

REID was commissioned, in the framework of the Interreg project ClusterS3, as one of two international peers to review and make recommendations on the cluster policy of the Basque Country. The region has more than 20 years’ experience in developing, implementing, evaluating and renewing cluster policy.

The peer review took a specific look at the Basque approach to smart specialisation, based on a strong involvement of cluster organisations in selecting priorities, in the development of action plans and in the identification and design of collaborative projects. The peers delivered a series of recommendations on improving cross-cluster collaboration, internationalisation of clusters and monitoring and evaluation of cluster performance.

Handbook on Innovative High Growth Enterprises

REID was commissioned by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) to research and draft a handbook targeted at policy makers, business mentors and investors in the six Eastern Europe and South Caucasus (EESC) countries. The handbook provides insights into policy tools illustrated by examples from the Baltic States, the Nordic region, Scotland and Singapore. The handbook seeks to provide ‘hands-on’ help to those involved in designing policies and institutions to support the transformative potential of innovative high-growth firms. Based on the handbook, REID developed a series of three training sessions, which were delivered online in March 2021, providing a potent mix of practitioner insights and case study sessions built around exemplar businesses.

SME and Entrepreneurship Reviews

REID has been on a journey from Dublin in the west to Bratislava in the east to examine how Governments’ can make life easier for those with the ‘entrepreneurial bug’ and help them innovate, scale and go international. Working as part of a team for the OECD’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities, REID reviewed SME and entrepreneurship programmes focusing on financing, innovation and internationalisation, entrepreneurship education and workforce skills development as well as innovative use of public procurement to support emerging high-potential firms. REID proposed a series of recommendations (for instance, in the Irish case adapting the R&D tax credit instrument to encourage innovation collaborations by SMEs inspired by Norwegian practice) to improve the effectiveness of government support that were taken up in subsequent government action plans.
