S3 Strategy
RIS3Mur Priorities are structured around activities in which leadership is clear, such as those linked to the agro-food value chain, including key agriculture activities (livestock, fishing,agro-food), as well as water cycle (treatment, purification, management), environment and logistics and transport. All these activities, systemically prioritized, coordinated, targeted and processed through intensive use of cutting-edge technologies, will result in competitive advantages for the Region. Also, the Region of Murcia is committed to the future development of a set of potential activities: tourism, health and habitat, grouped under the concept “quality of life” as they contribute to the wellbeing of citizens. A characteristic of these activities is that, through the intensified technological application, they will favour the type of specialisation generating wealth and employment. Similarly, Murcia has a number of driving activities supported by large companies operating in the Region. Compared to other regions, Murcia needs to take full advantage of a key differentiating element: the uniqueness and large business volume of these companies. The fields of energy and sea or marine affairs, as well as others which could potentially be developed in the Region, should be engaged in the RIS3Mur strategy and commit to the entrepreneurial discovery processes described in this Strategy.
