HELIX staff have worked with regional authorities and relevant sections of governments on the development of regional strategies for industrial and economic regeneration.

A major feature of many of these projects has been the development of measures to increase and optimise the utilisation of the knowledge base within such regions.

HELIX has the capacity to focus regional knowledge-based work on specialist sectors with high growth and employment potential, such as:

Development and use of information technology / communications technology / multimedia

Biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and biochemical engineering

Sustainable development for ecosystems, fisheries, environment

The above are illustrative.
