Cornerstones of future EU Cohesion Policy

• Lisbon Treaty / EU 2020 : Economic, social and territorial cohesion

• new cohesion report (end of 2010) / followed by cohesion forum• 2014 – 2020: Continuity in goals

To facilitate growth in lagging areas (old: convergence)To enhance competitiveness and employment To foster integration across borders

• Responding to EU challenges• Concentration on core priorities• Place-based, i.e. addressing region-specific needs and potentials• Coherent with Single Market policies• More emphasis on territorial cohesion:

cross-border cooperation, urban development, macro regions• Monitoring, Evaluation, Benchmarking of performance

EU competitiveness through NNL/NWD cooperation?

EU policies call for cross-border-cooperation

Territorial cooperation goal: „to foster integration across

borders“

Single EU market: „unexploited cross-border potentials“

Cluster-specific potentials for cross-border cooperation

Untested partnership potentials: e.g. Sensor tech

Shared challenges and opportunities: e.g. Energy,

Agribusiness

Cross-border knowledge spill-overs : e.g. Healthy Ageing

Development of cross-border business markets: e.g.

Water tech

=> Access to EU programmes for Innovation, Exports,

Productivity, Education, Employment, Infrastructure, SME

promotion

=> Cluster-specific partnership strategies
