  RIS3 is not a single intervention program: it is implemented with multiple regional 
  actions.
  It  should  not  be  considered  a  static  framework  of  priorities:  it  is  a  strategy  in 
  progress, continuously evolving as related to the economy of the territories.
  •
  Approval of the first Lazio RIS3 (DGR n ° 478 of 17 July 2014):
  - identifies the priority issues of RIS3 and the allocation of resources through the 
  process of "entrepreneurial discovery" that aims to bring out the excellence of 
  the territory with prospects of success on the global market.
  -the  identification  of  the  Areas  of  Specialization  (AdS)  and  the  related 
  technological priorities  have been the main result of the consultation of local 
  stakeholders with the collaboration of the Ministry of Economic Development

                          Priority macro-objectives for Lazio S3
       •   INNOVATION: making Lazio a "great European innovation region" 
           with an international dimension to allow local players to become part 
           of the international value chain;
       •   RESEARCH: designing and implementing the economy 
           specialization and strengthening the industrial research through 
           innovative technologies;
       •   INTERNATIONALIZATION: to guide Lazio in paths orienting the 
           competitive capacity of the entrepreneurial fabric towards markets of 
           strategic interest (MENA and BRICS countries in primis).
    The regional ecosystem of Research & Innovation of Lazio
  Lazio  Region  is  the  richest 
  reservoir  of  "human  capital" 
  dedicated  to  Research  in  Italy 
  (14,000  units,  including  teachers                         Unversities
  and researchers).
  It is the so called "Lazio system of 
  knowledge".
