About this good practice
Practice was established because in 2010-2015 the number of pro-export initiative in county was insufficient and actions for local SMEs was unorganized, accidental, not goal oriented.Due to implementation of the practice more pro-export initiatives for SMEs are taking and local municipalities are supporting them, also stakeholders (municipalities, Guild of Crafts and SWPPG) know representatives of smart specialization companies (beneficiaries).Many pro-export initiatives in regional and country level are directed to smart specialized SMEs.The practise is complementary to one of the Strategic Programmes of regional RIS3, namely: "Innovative companies" - aim "Increasing the level of internationalization of companies and their networks". Multiannual Export Development Program for 2015-2022-The subject of research was to define the determinants of export development in the region as well as the export environment, to establish methods, targets and instruments focused on supporting export development and creating action plan for years to come. Creating database of export companies divided into sectors of Gostyn county-Establishing the database in consequence leads to systematizing actions directed to local companies because we learned which of them are smart specialised and we could directed communication about RIS3 to them.Creating possibilities of participation in fairs for local entreprises which are part of regional smart specialization - August 2017 Agri-Food fairs in Czech.

Potential for learning or transfer
Thanks to implementation of this good practise local public authorities knows their economic strengths and knows which actors should be supported. In case local public authorities cooperates closely with business environment institutions (bei) they can join the visit in fairs - it could help with established contacts between local governments from different countries and be learning experience. During the visit in the fairs participants would see technologies used in the industry, recognize market needs which could lead to inventing new products.
This good practise is easy to transfer for any bei and shows a potential way of implementing RIS3 aims on the local level.
