Smart specialisation in Europe:

European specialisation data by region

Center for Strategy and Competitiveness, CSC

Stockholm School of Economics
April 2011

A recent Staff working document (2010-553) discusses the role of clusters for regional growth and
regional smart specialisation strategies. A key task for European Cluster Observatory is to provide
data and analysis about clusters in Europe, and we have for that purpose developed a database on
the sectoral industry composition of all regions in EU-27 and in other European countries.

Clusters are wider than individual industries. They are systems of industries that are related to each
other. This report takes a step down in the level of analysis, by studying individual industries, and
identifying for each region in which industries the region is particularly specialised. It includes all
industries, even such that are typically not particularly concentrated to certain regions (such as retail)
and such that are largely a part of the public sector (primary education).

3-digit industries have been used (rather than the more detailed 4-digit), since this level of detail is
available for all EU countries. Some of these are rather broadly defined, while others are narrow.

For each region, up to 20 industries are listed in which the region is most specialised. The minimum
degree of specialisation is 1.5 (meaning the region is at least 50% “overrepresented” in the industry),
and the industry must have at least 500 employees in the region (in order to eliminate high
specialisations in very narrow industries).
 REGIONAL INDUSTRY SPECIALISATION
The table lists for each EU region the industries in which the region has the highest specialisation compared to other regions.
Example: Burgenland has a specialisation of 2.37 in "Manufacture of other food products". This is the 2nd highest degree of
specialisation for that industry in EU-27.
Only industries with a minumum specialisation of 1.5 and a minimum employment of 500 persons are included.
Up to 20 industries are listed for each region, but many regions meet these criteria for less than 15 regions.
Note: Specialisation 1.5 means that the region has 50% more employment in the industry than the size of the region motivates.

About the European Cluster Observatory
The European Cluster Observatory, launched in June 2007, is the most comprehensive database on
clusters, cluster organisations, and cluster reports in Europe. It is managed by the Center for Strategy
and Competitiveness (CSC) at the Stockholm School of Economics and funded by the European
Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry.

The European Cluster Observatory website provides a wide variety of data on clusters in Europe, and
is focused on the following issues:

Cluster Mapping providing information more than 40 cluster categories in over 250 NUTS-2
regions

Regional competitiveness data, describing cluster framework conditions in regions
