  27. „MAŁOPOLSKA 2015” Małopolska’s challenges: • Competence-related challenges– how to become a partner and a true participant in the international race of skills and competence? • Technological challenges – how to catch up with the most developed and technologically advanced regions? • Social advancement related challenges – how to ensure relative equality and high quality of public services and standards of living addressing the aspirations of inhabitants? • Environmental challenges – how to ensure sustainability of the natural environment and the high quality of the spatial environment in the face of strong development pressure and economic aspirations? • Symbolical challenges – how to build a modern image of the region, convincing for the developed world, and at the same time to retain and cherish one's own unique identity? • Political challenges – how to ensure the high quality and autonomy of regional development policy which would permit the implementation of the strategy adopted, how to best involve the social partners and civil society?

  28. „MAŁOPOLSKA 2015” Key principles of the Strategy I. The principle of partnership II. The principle of strategic management of regional development III. The principle of the autonomy of Małopolska's regional development Strategy compatible with national social and economic development policy as well as with the EU cohesion policy – IV.

  31. Małopolska Regional Policy:competitiveness vs cohesion - balance 100% 90% 80% 54% 70% 66% 60% 50% 40% 30% 46% 20% 34% 10% 0% IROP 2004-2006 MROP 2007-13 expenditures on competitiveness expenditures on cohesion

  32. Questions about development • Will we have enough time to support competitiveness focusing our resources and time on pro-cohesion activities ? • Does Małopolska and other Polish regions have time to follow traditional path of development (first infrastructure, and then innovations)? • Is it possible to choose a „short-cut” on the way of achieving competitiveness,skipping cohesion phase?
