The mapping process consisted of two analyses, one quantitative completed in 2021 and one qualitative that concluded at the end of 2022.
The qualitative analysis refined the results of the quantitative analysis, leading to the identification of 6 preliminary vertical priority fields for Smart Specialization (S3):
> (NACE A) – Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing
- A01.6 - Support for post-harvest agricultural activities
- A03.21 - Marine aquaculture
- A03.1 - Fishing
> (NACE C) – Manufacturing
- C10.8 – Manufacturing of other food products
- C24.5 - Casting of metals
> (NACE D) – Energy
- D35.1 - Production, transmission, and distribution of electric energy
> (NACE I) – Accommodation and Support Activities for Tourism
- I55.9 - Other accommodation
> (NACE J) – Information and Communication
- J61.3 - Satellite telecommunications activities
- J62.09 - Other information technology and computer service activities
> (NACE N) – Administrative and Support Service Activities
- N82.2 - Operation of call centers
- N82.9 - Other business support service activities
From the qualitative analysis, it was evident that the following cross-sectoral fields could be considered for further exploration:
> Blue Economy
> Healthy Food
> Renewable Resources Energy
> Extended Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
These identified fields, along with further analysis, will be the focus of the Entrepreneurial Discovery Phase (EDP), which will confirm, integrate, and specify new pathways - the dynamics of creation, interventions, and targeted investments.
