Technological diversification of European regions




Helsinki-Uusimaa (FI1B)
This figure shows the technological fields in which the region can potentially diversify. For each region, technological areas are classified according to their technological complexity (y-axis), and relatedness, i.e. distance to their existing competences (x-axis). Size of the dot shows the number of patents produced in the technological field during the period. Color of the dot shows the one digit technological field. Period 2005-2009.
Smart Specialization opportunities
Number of patents
Evolution of the number of patents claimed by the region (share and total).

Patenting fields
Share of patents claimed by a region per technological field in the period 2005-2009
Knowledge space
The knowledge space is a network connecting the technological classes that are more likely to co-occur in the same patent document. Colored nodes show the technologies in which the region has competitive advantage.
