  1. Integration of industrial policies and sustainable developmentWorld Bank Knowledge Economy ForumAncona, 19 June 2008

  2. A model of industrial development In the 60’s and 70’s, many firms came and settled in the Marche Region from other Italian regions or foreign countries, because of low labor costs The know-how acquired over time, the capability to set out small but increase innovation, the relationship among local businesses (clusters) created a new “model”, often named after the region: “Marche Region Model” In the 90’s many regional firms began participating in foreign businesses, mostly within their own manufacturing sectors, such as the metal-mechanics industry, agricultural and industrial machinery, clothing and footwear, electrical material and supplies

  3. A case of industrial cluster policy Marche Regional Authority has promoted over the last years, and still does, the creation of a system capable of supporting the regional industrial clusters policy aimed at enhancing the reinforcement of the territorial attraction and economic competitiveness Through this system Marche Regional Authority wants to give a concrete support to the technological innovation and sustainable development of local companies, to keep pace with globalization This network of research and technological transfer centers, that became a due response to the demand of enterprises, is an instrument dedicated to the territory but destined to be spent even out of the region

  4. A case of public-private partnership During the years the Centres have been developed to assume, together with the contribution of the laboratories they are equipped with, a fundamental role in the matter of research, tech transfer and quality certification (strategic factors) which maintain the high “Made in Italy” competitiveness level of Marches products in the global market The strategic repositioning of the Centres really took place in light of backdrop changes in the last few years: globalization/growing integration of technological innovation processes; the development of ICT-based services and of the immaterial economy

  5. From “General Services”to “Technology Transfer” • Market transformation resulting from globalization • Move from local development of a defined territorial area to trans-local development in order to consolidate or create new conditions of competitiveness • Move from an inward looking production and added value chain network to an outward looking network • Marches and the “Technological Centre System”

  6. The Rational: an External Economy The “Technological Centre” intervenes to: • analyse needs • propose solutions • facilitate the process of internationalisation of SMEs • offer experience and advanced competence to the regional enterprises in complex socio-economic situations, which present difficulties in the development of local industries (operative local point of reference) with otherwise strong potential for growth at a national and international level linked to the locally available resources

  7. The Methodology The “Technological Centre System” is actively involved in: • coordinated processes for broaching entrepreneurial and managerial development of the regional enterprises • sustain the developmentof new products/processes for regional enterprises through investment in technology, quality certification, organisation/management, design and human resources • development and organisation of permanent specialized structures aimed at offering firms continuity, stability and adaptability for initiatives of economic and local industrial development
