Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) Plan of Wallonia Region

The Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) is the central pillar of innovation and industrial policy in Wallonia for the period 2021-2027. Launched in 2019, it unites all innovation players around the shared vision of boosting the region's economic and technological development. The Smart Strategy (S3) was renewed in 2021, adopting an inclusive, interactive and iterative approach, with strong stakeholder involvement. This strategy, which is part of the 2021-2027 European Framework, is the strategic framework for industrial and Research & Innovation policy in Wallonia during this period. The aim of the S3 is to concentrate resources on key priorities in order to maximise their impact on the Walloon economy, create jobs and develop innovative solutions that benefit society as a whole.
