Abstract

Moldova, a small land-locked country with a population of approximately 4 million inhabitants, has faced significant social and economic challenges. Despite these obstacles, Moldova has maintained a functional education system and research infrastructure. The country's collaboration with the EU through the Association Agreement and its participation in the Horizon 2020 programme have opened avenues for research and innovation partnerships. This paper examines Moldova's adoption of smart specialization strategies as a framework for economic growth and innovation. Leveraging the support of the JRC under the EU Enlargement and Integration Action, Moldova has embraced the entrepreneurial discovery process to identify its economic competitive advantages and innovation potential. This case study offers insights into the integration of smart specialization into Moldova's innovation policy landscape and provides lessons for other countries seeking to harness their innovation potential for economic prosperity.
