The Europe 2020 strategy, developed by the European Commission in 2010, arose from the desire to promote “smart, sustainable and inclusive” economic growth and establishes a series of objectives for the EU, along with a framework for action in areas such as innovation, employment, education, social inclusion and energy, with an emphasis on the concept of Smart Specialisation at regional level to enable further development.

The Smart Specialisation Strategy - S3 Navarra – is a medium and long term plan promoted by the Government of Navarra with support from Sodena, along with other economic and knowledge stakeholders, which sets to improve socio-economic conditions in Navarra by specialising its economy where it has competitive advantages and the potential for technological excellence.

Sodena also collaborates with the Government of Navarra in implementing the policy to develop and promote clusters, which is a tool designed to encourage business cooperation and so improve the competitiveness of associated companies in the high priority areas of the S3.
