S3 in FVG. Some considerations
 FVG region is well positioned on SRTI national ranking
 S3 as a catalyst for the regional innovation system
 Synergies and linkages to be strengthened and rationalised for
an effective functioning eco-system
 The complexity of the S3 approach required restructuring and
consolidation and the strategy has evolved accordingly,
resulting in an essential learning process, a solid basis for
finding ways to ensure wider diffusion of innovation

for the internationalisation of the system

and widespread dynamics linked to smart specialisation
 The next S3 generation requires tackling the challenge of
internationalisation more convincingly
