Technological diversification of European regions




Wielkopolskie (PL41)
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.
