Abstract
The European Commission puts a growing emphasis on the smart specialization as a tool of regional development. This term is present in a number of strategic development documents in the European Union, including Europe 2020, published by the European Commission in 2010. It implies the need for countries and regions to specialize as well as focus the development of innovation on areas that are consistent with their endogenous potentials. Objectives of this paper are: (1) to present the method and results of the process of identifying smart specialization in Pomeranian Voivodship; (2) to analyse evolution of the fields of smart specialization; (3) to identify problems and challenges which occurred during this process. In this research, following methods have been applied: (1) analysis of existing documents including application forms for the competition of Pomeranian smart specialization, (2) individual in-depth interviews with members of partnerships and representatives of the Voivodeship Marshal’s Office, (3) authors' observations while participating in this process. The authorities of the Pomeranian Voivodeship see the smart specialization as an area with high potential, relevant to the development of the Voivodeship, based on the unique resources of the Region and their innovative use. It is assumed that, among others, implementation of R & I is contributing to the development of existing economic specialization and having an impact on the growth of competitiveness of the Pomeranian Region on the national and international arena. The process of identification of smart specialization has been implemented in three phases.
