Abstract
Research and innovation of the smart city concept is logically
evolving and extending into the conceptualisation of smart
regions. Within the European Union the political priorities and
principles are aligning to encourage the development of smart
regions. Current plans for jobs, growth and investment, the digital
single market, energy union and democratic change align with the
long-standing principle of subsidiarity, the circular economy
approach [2] and with smart specialisation strategy [3]. This paper
examines the ongoing process of engagement and active
participation of stakeholders using the quadruple helix model [5]
in the conceptualisation, design and implementation of Smart
Regional Policy in the Northern, Western and borders region of
the Republic of Ireland in an area including 10 local authorities.
This process is known as the Smart Places Region initiative.
