Ministry of Economy and Innovation is the main managing authority responsible for the implementation of the Smart specialization 2021-2027.
Data shows that the sectors that fell under the priorities of smart specialization 2014-2020 have achieved significant progress both in terms of business development and increasing R&D potential: these sectors increased generated added value by 80%, the volume of exports increased by 72 % and the number of employees grew by 10%. In addition, sectors of smart specialization more than doubled the expenditure on R&D and the volume of export of knowledge-intensive services during the period 2014-2020, every second company operating within the framework of these priorities introduced innovations in their activities.
