Online S3 Roadmap for EDP implementation: overview of the workflow
The Enterprenurial Discovery process is an interactive bottom-up process to determine promising sectors for investment and future competitiveness. The process is inclusive, and it is driven by market dynamics and the views of stakeholders in the region. During the EDP, different entrepreneurial actors are brought together in a government-led participatory process to jointly identify fields with smart specialization potential and define possible activities for preparing their progressive development.
The EDP workflow provided here contains applications and guides to conduct the EDP process. It is divided into three sections; Knowledge Production, Stakeholder Engagement and Knowledge Sharing and Collaborative Decision Making.
